Music Alright. So that's YouTube, and again, here's related clips and more from that person. And again, whether it's in portrait or landscape, it... just all works. And of course videos. Let's go into landscape for this. And we've got movies, TV shows, music videos. So I can go into a TV show like Modern Family is an example, pick an episode and watch it. Let's do that with a movie. Let's pick Star Trek, and let's go to chapters. Oh, what's a good one? Eh... there we go.

>> Mr. Scott!

>> And again, I can scrub through if I want to.

Laughter Awesome movie. And one of my favorite sequences ever in any movie is this sequence in Up right here.

    This will be one of apples biggest failure. The price they are asking and for as little as it does do not make any sense. They will sell a few to the rich kids of the world and those who will die with out the new apple product but overall i have no idea how this was released in such limited ability and over price...I fail
