Apple TV

Mr. Steve Jobs:

I have still not been offered the position of Apple TV Product Manager with your wonderful company. I understand writing the perfect job offer, mulling over pay and grade level, and so on takes some time, but really, I'm ready! Please drop me a line.

Sincerely,

Greg

Part 2

I am currently downloading a major software update for the Apple TV that will allow me, for the first time, to rent content from iTunes and view that content where it should be viewed - on my HDTV. I had to overcome a bit of an obstacle in order to get my hands on this download. We left the condo at the beach rather quickly last weekend having stayed far too long this past Sunday and we managed to leave the Apple TV remote behind (at least I remembered to bring the Apple TV and the remote.

What is a guy to do?!?!? No worries! Just unpair the Apple Hi-Fi remote (by holding down the rewind/review and menu buttons at the same time just hold then down until the green LED on the front panel flashes three times). Now we have another problem in that I have to tell the Apple TV to unpair from its remote (again, same procedure; hold down the same buttons until the white LED on the front of the Apple TV goes from white to "off" then release all buttons and you're set).

Next, easily enough, download the software update under the Settings menu. I have to say, I always thought "Software Download" should be under the "sources" menu. Perhaps it's the programmer in me and "sources" reminds me of "source code" or the fact that the servers at Apple are the "source" from which my update is downloaded. Regardless download the code and install when the download is complete. Fun times.

As stated a full review will be forthcoming. Don't expect me to pull any punches either. We still have rented content on Kelly's MacBook and I want to stream or copy that content to the Apple TV.
