    In reply to 12 Things You Need To Know About Apple TV 3.0
    #11 IS THE PURPOSE OF THE DEVICE.

    Despite what you theoretically think you are capable/allowed to do, Apple does not care. The purpose of AppleTV, is to give direct access to the ITUNES STORE, from your TV, the screen that you intend to view purchased content.

    AppleTV is not a home Media Server or Do-it-All Set Top Box.

    Hardly acceptable for a site like Gizmodo to intentionally miss the point of a device, just because its not what the author wants to use it for. Yeah, you want to plug in a 2 TB external HDD so you can rip Netflix and download Blu Ray Rips, and store/play them to your hearts content, as if you paid for all the media.
    Well, you didn't pay for it.

    And in regard to the limited storage, if you're lucky enough to have a modern Apple TV with 160 gb HDD, you have little reason to need an external as well. 160 gigs is enough to get any media hound through the day. And this is Apple TV, not a portable device. Plan on sitting on the couch much?

    Apple is smart enough to know that storage on the AppleTV, while important, does not have to keep up with external hdd or even computer hdd sizes. Most of your movies will exist on your computer and external harddrive, and can be easily synced over when needed. Keep new or highly rated content on the Apple TV. Transfer whatever else you need, when you need it. No Big Deal. #appletv30

    @PMZanetti: I believe the prurpose of the device was to make Apple money. To do that, customers would have to purchase it. As an official Apple dud, let's just think of the list as a combination of the wants/issues of the consumer, the intended audience of this device.

    Seriously, how many people purchased this because Boxee was hacked onto it?

    Apple's crosshairs were a bit off this time - unless the point of the device was not to sell.

    Oh, and I do like the larger hard drive = piracy analogy. Classy. #appletv30

    In reply to Living With the Pre: 23 Things Palm Could Improve By Software
    In regards to #11 [text entry]:

    If you double-tap quickly in a text entry field, it'll zoom in on the entry box however far it takes to make the box the width of the phone. I use it all the time. You need to be fairly accurate with your double-tap, however, or it'll think you're clicking on a link.

    [BTW that works on regular text too...double-tap in the same place in a block of regular text and it'll usually zoom in to the column].

    @artistpavel: Not just because of DX11, the upcomming generation chips from Nvidia is going to be more than double the power of the current ones. And be capable of MIMD instead of just SIMD. Allowing for massive parallelism opening the doors for even more performance depending on the task. Such as GPGPU application, or physics in games.

    Where are the searches for "How do I get un-pregnant"? And I think the answer to #11 is "curry".
