Interesting physical design. But $149 and no integrated keyboard is tough to swallow. [Link] (via engadget)

We really appreciate the review, but it’s a little weird seeing our Windows Media Center profile on a Mac site.

Apple TV Still A Dud After Price Cut

Albert — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:30:29 +0000

Price is important, but any breakthrough next-gen set top box will need to run a real web browser.

New Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse arrive at the FCC

Hope the multi-touch mouse rumor is true. Can’t stand constantly cleaning the scroll ball in the current Mighty Mouse.

Love the slide-finger-up-to-uppercase shortcut. Wish Apple would let developers enhance the iPhone keyboard.

The thought of seeing this in a living room makes me die a little on the inside.
