so uh.... im still not exactly sure what this apple tv does...

so far it sounds like a hardware device that connects to your tv and acts as an interface to the net so you can purchase and download tv shows and other videos from the net then watch them on your tv.

so whats this thing do better than just downloading the tv shows for free from p2p and then usuing a wireless usb tv adaptor to watch it wirelessly on your tv? so the apple tv has fancy menues, big deal. my way is FREEEEEEEEE!

seriously, people who are too dumb to download are propping up these monopolistic dinosours. STOP IT! the sooner everyone learns how to download the faster consumers will take control.

neither is thier way buying off the goverment to make fair use illict,its gettign to the point where I say downloading is the same as buying used,they make no profit in it thus have no right to complain if they refuse to get with the times and offer the downloads for a fair price,screw them its not worth the loss of money.

explain to me how simply downloading a video from the net is illegal, im not sharing. from all my legal sluthing i cannot find how simply downloading is illegal. its no diferent than taping a show off tv, and even if i am downloading shows from chanels i do not subscribe too (premium) its still legal. so i say my way IS legal, please provide legal precident to the contrary if you dont think so.

more info, a foxnews.com review of the apple tv, and its quite long.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,260662,00.html

guess what? it wont work with non-widescreen tvs and its video quality isnt so hot, especialy if you have a discriminating eye and a huge hd tv. it costs 300 beans....

and after that review i can say that all you need to do the exact same thing for free (legaly no less) is a wireless tv adaptor and a fasttrack or gnutella client with sharing turned off.

apple tv is to video what itunes is to music, only people unfamiliar with technology need apply.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
