Just to offer another option, one does not have to purchase a new TV to be able to use the Apple TV. One can simply purchase an HDMI to standard video convertor. It is a small box which contains an HDMI input and RCA type output jacks and last I checked, sold for somewhere in the $60 range.

Greetings one and all. Well, the subject line says it all. I am thinking of giving an Apple TV as a Birthday present and would like opinions on this device. I have read a number of reviews on the web which claim that the Apple TV has problems with streaming video such as stuttering and

I would just like to point out that this is not an OCR app for the blind. Rather it is geared towards those who have some usable vision much like zoom text is. If one buys this app with the expectation that it will be an ocr solution for the blind, one will be disappointment. The fact that

I could be wrong, but I believe you can get the air with a 256 gb ssd and the 13 inch air does have the sd card reader just like the pro. However, the pro does add the benefit of the super drive as well as lan and firewire ports which the air does not come with. Hope this helps a bit. Neil

Trackpad gestures on the macbook?

Greetings all. A friend who is looking to buy a macbook asked me this and rather then speculating as to the answer, I thought I'd ask here. Does the current line of macbooks support the use of gestures like on the iPhone via the trackpad or is this only possible with the macbook pro line?

I can't give to much info yet because our Dish service won't be installed until Saturday, but the latest generation of Dish DVR boxes will give you complete control via the Dish iPhone app. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch that is. You can search for programs set recordings and even locate

Agreed. I'd much rather see the law suit challenging the monopolistic exclusivity deal between A T and T and Apple go forward rather then this silly law suit. As you said, you have 30 days to return the iPhone if you're not happy with it. On the other hand, the fact that Apple and ATT will not
