  • RE: Apple TV has gone streaming

    looks noice, but I have windows streaming, ps3 streaming, ubuntu streaming and now apple streaming. I am sick of incompatible streaming. I want to watch live DTV streams on my N95, iPhone, iPad, Ubuntu, PDA, win7 boxen, as well as watch my iTunes and other stream services, and games too - but this is simply not possible as each corporate monstrosity seeks lock in. I like apple and their not so greedy rental options, but I can see that changing as all service lock ins do - like my foxtel experience I will end up with less for more as the 'offer' is smoshed around to shove ads up my wazoo (that I pay for) fave channels will be morphed away into other 'services' and 'hackers' will appear to bunt me away from using even a fraction of what I have paid for and am entitled to, just like my standard internet connection... my privacy will be violated more and more as my services will be used to shape ME instead of vice-versa. And the perverts of the world will use patriot act, DRM and DMCA and find ever more devious ways to rustle around my underpants (and molest my family and friends too) through a brand new conduit...

    All rental means Apple has decided unilaterally to remove our ability to buy and watch several times without paying "per view". ...and then has the gall to play "any way you want it" in the same new product launch.
