Um, what? Are you now arguing against yourself? I'm not the one who argued that they need their own TV set.

Um, what? Are you now arguing against yourself? I'm not the one who argued that they need their own TV set.
You'd already made your mind up before you'd seen it, as had all of the other posters on page 1 of this thread.
It's fairly common knowledge they get multiple teams to work on hardware projects.
This content strategy could be as simple as having competing teams work on video production, whichever gets the best reaction will be Apple's Official Original Content Team. The main difference is we (the public) are part of the tests.
"Serious movie"? No one said that.
"Short film"? Macrumors called it a short film. See quote:
"This is the second time Apple has teamed up with a partner to release a short film."
I enjoyed it pre going to work Nice to have a bit of a laugh.
youtube must have paid for the exclusivity

apparently he is the guy who tried to argue to them the iphone needed a blackberry-like keyboard and jobs had to shut him down.
No, that was Phil Schiller. That story has since been denies, and if it did happen, happened a long time before the iPhone's release.
Set top box and a full screen TV are two separate things. The Apple TV Gen 4 is not a "full all-in-one Apple-branded TV" like I said. Do you understand the difference now?
Sure, as am I. Just don't let the lack of Steve Jobs introducing new products guide your judgement of the company.
Look at the iPhone 4S announcement - Tim Cook was as dull as dishwater. Yet no one in their right mind argues Apple had lost their way 1 day before Steve Jobs' passing.
the poster is an embarassment. is it illegal to make up my mind about a poster without seeing the movie?
a) It's a parody
b) Don't take it seriously
c) It's not a movie, it's an advert
d) The people I originally quoted weren't talking about the poster
I loved how everyone was freaking out about a 4 minute web commercial.

Was? They still are!
I’m so sorry I quoted you by mistake. The “trash” word was headed towards the AD/short movie/whatever =)
1. i didn't take the movie seriously.
2. it's technically a movie, but you were using "movie" in a less literal form while i was using it in a literal form.
3. and i didn't read the other people you quoted. i only replied to your response
the poster is still an embarrassment. there are better ways to make a "parody" poster
I understand perfectly. What's your point? Apple isn't making a TV, and they don't need to make one either.
great. but we're in the macrumors forum, posting our comments in reply to the article that macrumors wrote. this isn't the CNBC forum.

point is that they do want to make a full TV. plenty of evidence out there that suggests Apple wants to make one.
the bottleneck isn't the hardware. it's the service. and netflix is a good start for them to make that full TV happen.
All videos on Apple’s YouTube channel are comment disabled. Major companies do that to avoid ignorant trolling (like what is shown on page 1).
Apple hasn't really been "on top" in many markets... but they've done well enough in certain segments.
Apple has been selling computers for over 40 years... a span of time where many, MANY other companies have come and gone in less time than that.
In other words... Apple has never been "on top" as a computer seller... but at least they're still around today. And they're still a pretty successful computer seller despite their low volume.
Apple has been selling phones for 10 years now... and in that time we've seen other competitors stumble or completely vanish from the market (Blackberry, Palm)
Apple is not "on top" of the phone market either... but they're doing pretty well.
You're right... companies have their ups and downs... and can come and go... but I have a feeling that Apple (in some form) will be around for our grandchildren.
Who would have thought Ford would be around for over 100 years?
Because you already know the answer to that. The advert will do more to promote the Apple ecosystem than the Mac Pro can ever hope to recoup in its entire lifetime.
There's a huge difference between needing a skinny cable bundle service and suddenly having to operate at the scale that Netflix does.
