Apple's Moment — Consumers Want To Download To TV
ack154 writes, "With so much recent news surrounding Apple's upcoming iTV system, their timing may be nearly perfect. Ars Technica gives the rundown on a recent report, released from Accenture, stating that about half of users surveyed across the globe are now looking to get downloadable videos, movies and other content onto their TV. Based on the article, if Apple can get the right combination in features, price, and usability, many consumers may be ready to eat it up. Macworld has more speculation on Apple's potential living room dominance."
Sounds like you've worked up a fantastic justification for grabbing a torrent. Good job. We could use a man like you in our marketing department or public relations - people who can come up with lies good enough to fool themselves are always welcome here.
No, I'm saying I won't pay $2/episode for content that I can't enjoy how I want. gg coward.

It's so nice that you're pleased with such a small raster. Frame rate? Spectra? 5.1?
No fades, pixellation, or sound sync issues?
And you're using binoculars, right?

Works fine on my Mac. Maybe the problem is with your OS... ;-)

Recently iPod sales have started to plummet, which is why they need an outstanding product in addition to the usual Apple marketing magic. The article writer is assuming you know the background of the "mp3" player market. For instance, this Zune can be a crap product, but it has enough industry support and maketing and finance from M$, that it can be "successful" anyways. And "consumers.. 'eat it up'" is actually different than saying Profitable, which is how others might define success- hence the obvious sounding remark
