    I'm pretty sure that there are already rumors of the first software update to be pushed out in a month. Hopefully it will fix them.

    In reply to Apple TV 3.01 Update Saves Your Data From "Temporarily Disappearing"
    I was about to brag about how I was still running a previous version that, as of two weeks ago, still allowed Hulu to stream though mine. But then I opened iTunes to see which version it had, *sigh* I guess mine updated automatically. That shows how often we use it. I too am in the process of figuring out the best route to eliminate our cable. I'm leaning towards replacing the Apple TV with a Mac Mini or something else set up as a HTPC, at least until Apple can pull off this: [gizmodo.com] #appletv

    @Scratic: Hulu and any other sources for free on-demand content would make the AppleTV so much better. I like being able to watch photos and pod-casts and YouTube on the TV, but it isn't enough to make it worth while. I also keep my AppleTV unplugged most of the time because of the heat. Rentals and buys have been replaced by my blu-ray player and Netflix subscription, so there's not much about it that I need.

    As far as ditching cable goes, I just don't see how you do that. The ability to channel surf almost makes my Dish bill acceptable. Not sure I could live without that even if I could download all my favorite shows.

    @PotteryBarnClearanceSale: Hulu on AppleTV was great while it lasted, albeit kind of choppy. As far unplugging cable goes, we already DVR almost everything we watch, so we're accustomed to watching on demand. The shows that we don't record (Community and Moderen Family are new favorites) are all network, which can be picked up through an HD antennae. The cable shows that we watch are almost all available through iTunes. A season pass for three of them is still less than one month cable. I will miss the convenience of flipping through channels. This is how I've found some favorite shows in the past. (Pawn Stars comes to mind, I will miss that guilty pleasure.) I'm hoping a side effect will be that we read more and listen to more music. #appletv

    I use mine quite a bit--part of the "ditch cable" movement. As an A/V retailer I furnish and install a few of these per month. Really not a bad box. Could it be better? Of course. Could they add something like Netflix streaming? Sure. But hey, it works. #appletv

    @Klay:
    Yep, for what it does it does it great. Netflix streaming would make it awesome.

    When you do installs, where do you put it and how do you compensate for the heat? #appletv

    @PotteryBarnClearanceSale: ATV can sit on a shelf or there is a cute little wall bracket available that holds it flat against a wall or cabinet. Mine (and others) don't seem to get "hot". Warm, sure but not enough for concern. I have had Comcast DVRs get lots warmer and need a fan. #appletv

    So is there some sort of compensation for all the people Intel appears to have fucked? I don't have an SSD and I don't know what exactly happens when one is "bricked" but I assume it means it's unusable now. Any thoughts people? #intelbrickedssdbug

    @antpwny: I'm going to sound like a Patriot sales rep, but I'm not. I've heard great things about Patriot's Torqx line. They're fast, have a 10 year warranty, and are cheaper than Intel. They look like they're the way to go for the long haul. #intelbrickedssdbug

    You know.. If half the company's putting stuff out on the market would test this crap a little longer in beta.. Crap like this might be found out.. But Noooooo.. all they see is profit..

    it's worth noting that, for an additional 13 dollars, you can opt to have them send you physical disks instead of just getting a download. 43 dollars still ain't bad. #windows7

    The problem is that 32bit and 64bit are different architectures. You can't just switch freely between the two. Why would anyone get a 64bit UPGRADE if they have 32bit to start off with?

    It's not Microsoft's fault. #windows7

    @meow-mixer: Simple: because some of us intend to upgrade our PC's in the future to include more than 3GB of RAM. Right now, my desktop has 4GB and a 1GB videocard, meaning 1GB of RAM is essential worthless.

    Anyways, I bought Win7 Student Edition because it was cheap and I wanted a backup. Proves exactly why everything that looks too good to be true probably is.

    And FYI, I was using the Win7 RC1, completely formatted my drive and it still wouldn't boot. So no, it isn't my fault...it's all Microsoft's fault. #windows7

    @meow-mixer: On the student-purchase site, Microsoft specifically states that with a clean install, you can upgrade from 32-bit Vista/XP to 64-bit 7 -- so I think it should be a safe assumption that they would make an effort to not maximize the hassle that goes into this process. #windows7
