You could still argue the case that it is but thankfully for the Apple TV owners, your finally getting an update. Today they released Apple TV 3.0 software which includes brand new menu, Genius Mixes, internet radio access, and itunes Extra & LP features.
Press Release after the break!

Apple, Gadgets, Humor, Internet, Linux, Microsoft, Mobile, News, Okay Geek, Personal, Videos, Websites, iPhone I just stumbled upon a friend of mine's tweet and discovered this awesome video back in the day for Sega Genesis. Tell me this doesn't remind you of the Android phone adds against Apple's IPhone just as this video is Sega Genesis Vs. the Nintendo(what ever one was out at the time).

The Spawn-720 is like a Sling-box for console games, letting you play most systems through a streaming client on you PC. It has been tested and isn't as expensive as some may think.
For those who don't know what a Sling-box is, it's a device that streams your videos from you computer/TV or what ever.
The Spawn HD-720 is great because you can use it to have "local play" over the internet! So does that mean possibly not paying for Xbox Live if you want to play custom games all day with your friends? The system costs about $200 but just like PS3 online, no monthly fees to use their system.

The NPD survey found that at least 12% of US households own a Mac but 85% of those people also own a PC. The weird thing is that most PC owners don't own a Mac. I find most loyal PC users complain with the same problems like its too much or its less developer friendly.
When I look at the video comments for Apple's new Windows 7 commercial, most were from angry PC owners who hated Apple and complained about Apple.
I myself had a PC until I was 12-years-old and then I got a Mac. Now my house has a Mac for everyone in the house so about 5 and 2 PC's.
Do Windows owners hate Apple THAT much?

Apple, Applications, Design, Gadgets, Humor, Internet, Movies, Personal, Videos Well we all know that Windows 7 came out today and I'm personally excited to see what the perception is. According to the Podcast "TWIT" (This Week In Tech) it's just as good as Snow Leopard minus a few things. They all agree though its the most secure windows has ever been and should be the best improvement for Windows ever.
Apple though has already released one of their famous commercials and possibly brings up a good point. Check it out for yourself.
Now this commercial is true, I don't really see how you can argue that but I do think we should give Windows a chance and I'm ready to see what they came up with this time.

Apple, Design, Gadgets, Movies, News, Personal, Reviews, Videos, Websites, breaking First off the new MacBook with its new "Brilliant" LED-Backlit Display, built-in-battery up to 7 hours, multi-touch glass trackpad, NVIDIA Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of memory and up to 500GB's of hard drive 
makes it seem like a Macbook Pro. Now some people will say this isn't much of an update, but I think for the MacBook it's a nice jump.
It basically took the old MacBook and made it almost as powerful, if not more in certain ways, than the MacBook Pro. The extra 500GB hard drive is perfect for people who travel and want to take everything with them, but also for those who always wants their stuff with them at all times. I have a MacBook Pro with a 200GB hard drive and I constantly have to keep deleting stuff or moving a bunch of data to external hard drives.
A new thing Apple is doing is putting the non-removable battery to make it last up to 7 hours. And what happens when the battery dies? You just pay $130 and Apple will replace it. I don't think that's too bad really? The new MacBook is available NOW at a $999 baseline.
You can see the new MacBook in all its glory here in our new Gallery
This thing is an amazing little beast this time around. Many people though Apple kind of gave up on it, but not with this release! The Mac Mini comes in 3 different versions: 160GB, 320GB, and 500GB for $599, $799, and $999. Also, you can buy the 500GB version and use it with the Snow Leopard Server! This means you can host a website off it, use it to host multiple accounts on all your computers, or use it as a GIANT file share network in your home or small office. The memory is just like the MacBook with up to 4GB. The Mac Mini also allows you to burn DVD's and CD's, hook up to 2 monitors at one time, and use as your Entertainment Center by connecting it to your TV.
Both these two updates are fantastic if you use them or if you want to try something new with a Mac. Both I think are affordable and pack a lot of punch in them.
