Wow. So Apple ISN'T the only place with videos that
can't play on my Apple computer. This one's worse
than Apple's.

You can always tell when Apple has something good, because these types
crawl out of the woodwork.

That's a flash movie, so you'll need Flash 9 installed and active to see it.

I assume this means you will be putting all your
money/savings/retirement funds in puts for AAPL? Since you are so
positive it will be a failure, this is your chance to retire a rich
man....
You do realize that the Apple haters/Microsoft lovers have said the
same thing about every new product Apple has brought out for the last
10 years?

Good "call", Trent. Most of the folks who write tripe don't know what a
put is, don't have the capital to make a financial stance of any size,
and if they did, don't have the cajones to back their words with action.
At the very least, I've never seen a post to my similar challenges to
the effect that "Well, I did, it douchebag, and made $450,000 by
shorting Adobe [or whatever]"

It has nothing to do with hating Crapple. It has to do with having
ZERO respect for people who drool over such an overpriced, overhyped
PHONE without any real user experiences to base their hopeless
optimism on. Please try to keep up, OK.

If that were true, you wouldn't be using the "from" data that you're
using.

Yes, it's obvious you don't have any sort of hostility at all toward, as
you call it, "Crapple".

The Pippin. No I never saw one.
Interestingly, it doesn't precisely qualify as an Apple product, as it
was actually licensed to Bandai.

The same way you stream iTunes from one person's library to your
computer.

what alan said.
I had the dvi to hdmi connection, but VGA is better. The PS3 uses the
hdmi connection on my TV.
And, 'sharing' is what the streaming thing is called.
Tivo does it better than iTunes tho.
None of my iTunes installations are recognized by the PS3, but Tivo sees
everything.

the AppleTV is doing quite well, plus it does A LOT more than the mini.
it h as better video / graphics, streams video, photos, trailers, you
tube, on and on.

i have one, and that was m ore like a cable box allowing you to "switch
channels", the AppleTV isn't really similar at all.

LMAO. Do you have any idea how much cash Apple has in reserve? How many
other already successful, profitable product lines? You're not too
bright, are you? :-D Let me help you be a better troll. You need to try
to mix some truth with rubbish. The above just makes people laugh at
you. Still, maybe that's what you want. You might be the sort of troll
who craves attention of any kind, even if it's mocking or plain pity.

You mean like the user experience of the MacOS? Of the Newton (may have
been a commercial failure - but it rewrote the book on PDAs)? Of the
iPod?
Nah, we've _nothing_ to base our optimism on! LOL!
God it must be awful being as utterly THICK as you are. I mean - you
can't even come up with reasonable troll that I or anyone else with more
than half a brain can pull apart in five seconds flat. Please try better
next time. Make an effort! Come on! You can DO it! :-D

Wait, are you trying to make out QT isn't successful? :-D God, I don't
even have to bother refuting that one! LMAO!
