Hot topics this week so far:
AppleTV
- AppleTV……….. It’s so hackable.
- It’s running a variant of Mac OS X.
- Costs $299.00
- Doesn’t come with any cable. It seems odd in the beginning, but it made some sense now. Some people need HDMI to HDMI cable, while others need HDMI to Component. Some people need HDMI to DVI cable plus the TOSLINK cable.
- AppleTV is podcast friendly.
- AppleTV streams movie trailers. This is one feature that shows the potential of AppleTV. I suppose that content producers can showcase their products through AppleTV.
Adobe Creative Suite 3
- Adobe is taking their time with this one. This time Creative Suite 3 comes in multiple packages.
- Former Macromedia products are included in the Creative Suite, such as Flash and DreamWeaver
- Apple is selling Adobe Creative Suite 3 in their online store.
XBox 360 Elite
- Stupid name! Is Microsoft trying to get into the l33t crowd by naming the XBox package as XBox 360 Elite.
- It’s a black XBox 360 with 120 detachable hard drive, HDMI, and some other stuff.
- It’s a surprise that Microsoft not including the HD-DVD drive. Maybe they are going to sell the black HD-DVD drive, if not it’ll just look silly.
The “and then some” part
- Whatever happened to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard?
- No thanks to SciFi Channel for Stargate stuff.
- South Park is still ridiculous.
I’ll update this post soon
