wow, dropped the price of apple tv to $99.00

I really wish they could get HBO/Showtime/Insert company here that allowed you to subscribe to an IP based version of their programming... I would be done with cable if that could happen... That and subscription based rentals, not this .99 cent crap.

i wonder if its 99c for all tv shows or only if you stream them using their apple tv box as i'd like to be able to download and keep the show for 99c.

It's a streaming service and the .99 is to rent, not own.

Just finished watching the streamed event on my ipod touch. The screen is big enough to watch it but I found the actual streaming got choppy at times and also reverted back to the beginning of the event a few times requiring me to have to restart the streaming.

All in all, some cool products though.

Definitely getting an Apple tv if more shows from the US are listed on the Australian store which currently has fail shows.

Really wish apple would update Frontrow on the mac so we don't need to get an an Apple TV.. but that will never happen because it seems Apple has forgotten about Frontrow :(

Darn, $2.99 to keep a tv show is crazy, a full series costs more than the dvd boxset sometimes more than the bluray boxset too, they need to get the price down to $1.49 per episode.

I used Safari on Mac OS X 10.6 to watch the keynote and it cut out loads of times. Often the video would stop and the audio would continue or the entire thing would just freeze and I'd have to refresh the page. I did that about 15 times throughout the entire thing :laugh:

I think Apple have some kinks to iron out with there steaming equipment I imagine quite a lot of people 'tuned in' to watch it and there servers couldn't take the load.

Yeah, the stream wasn't the best. But it wasn't bad either.

Now waiting for iTunes 10 to appear, wonder if they remade the app in Cocoa?

Even Apple didn't want me listening to Coldplay :rofl:

And seriously, am I the only person here who is trying to download iTunes 10 and getting the 9.2.1 package instead?

Nope, still 9.2.1 here too (Both OS X and W7)

nah but it's written there too. :p You can click on the iTunes 10 link on that iTunes subpage but it will guide you to that form to enter you eMail, at least that's what it does for me, and on top of that it says "download iTunes 9.2.1". ;)

Oh, now it says "this page is not available" in that frame on the left... It's coming!

Who wants to form a "neowin Circle of Friends"? :D

I find it interesting, BTW, how they seemingly did not follow their own UI guidelines. The traffic lights and all... Looks good though and I have it maximized in a special Space anyways...

Note the iTunes 10 screenshots on the website and how the traffic lights have moved to the left side, vertically aligned.

haha just what I thought. I like it, though. They never followed their own guidelines with iTunes. Look at the scroll bars... I can live with that, if it saves some pixels. Which, judging by the screenshot, it did.

But seriously wtf?

Does UI guide lines means nothing to iTunes? Is it just me or have iTunes always been the awkward middle child that never really quite lived up or belonged to anything?

At first I was like "WTF" but then I sort of realized they were just wasting space. iTunes doesn't need a whole vertical space dedicated to telling you what the app. It's iconic, so you know immediately that you're in iTunes. There's also only one main iTunes window, so you can't really get confused between multiple "documents."

All in all, it makes sense to me and really doesn't make the app any less usuable. It's also enough of a shift that it doesn't bother me (unlike those damn 2 pixels on that Chrome window; it's like it's almost right, but it's not!).

I'm sorry, but IMO: Apple TV is fail.

Only Apple could hype a product that already exists in various forms and imply that it's some sort of new original thing. I can do that with my 360. It can be done with a PS3. Plenty of other TV boxes have been doing that stuff (with the exception of iOS device streaming, which I admit is cool; still, this has been done with laptops and PCs), too. Why anyone would pay $99 for that I don't know.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
