You must sooooo hate it when someone says something positive about Apple.
I've never understood why someone who never has anything positive to say about Apple frequents this site.

Chromecast sells for $35 and does everything and is totally open, or so Google says. You can almost buy three Chromecasts for the price of one AppleTV. Apple continues to let Google get into its kitchen and that's why Google shares are sitting at $1200 and Apple's shares are continuously heading towards $500. Tim Cook just doesn't understand the gravity of the situation concerning Apple's shareholder value. All the companies Apple could have acquired for almost nothing last year, have practically doubled in value while Apple has simply faded. That's just Apple's horrible management strategy of being penny wise and pounds foolish.
Update 11:21AM: Re/code's Peter Kafka says the $1 billion number includes content sales on the Apple TV box, including movie rentals and TV show purchases.
And the shoe just dropped
The billion dollar figure CAN'T include media sales if they sold 10million units @ $99 - my math says that's a billion.
"That hobby was over a billion dollars of revenue last year," said Cook, during the company's annual meeting with shareholders. "It's a little hard to call it a hobby anymore."

So this doesn't show how users are clamoring for an Apple TV (good thing). I'm sorry but then how has google stock gone up if they have been doing nothing with their projects? How about the profit margins on their Nexus and Motos last year?
Because they may get paid?

You realize a Chromecast requires a compatible device to operate, right? vsTV is able to function independently? The latter means I don't have to give the kids a tablet/phone to watch something, that I can start something with (or even without!) my phone/tablet and then leave the house with it without interrupting others watching (or having to find & transition to another device), I don't have to take a device from a kid playing a game on it just so I can watch something, etc. Yes, the former can work around these (to some degree, maybe), but considering I'm just getting one of them to plug into a thousand dollars' or so worth of A/V equipment, $99 isn't going to induce heartburn.
Well - you keep coming back and you clearly take issue with a lot of the editorial![]()

But I'm still a fan of Apple and their products. I don't go hanging out on Samsung news/rumors sites bashing Samsung.
I'm over the hangup of not getting physical media now for my movies and TV shows. If I want to watch a movie or show at a friend's house now, I just bring my Apple TV along, or if they have one, I'll just bring my iPhone/iPad and AirPlay it. Fantastically convenient and I don't have to bitch my friends out for not returning my Blu-Ray/DVD after 6 months.
