It's basically an Airport Express with 'AirFlicks'. And, I'd watch far more moves if they were just a menu click away, rather than rooting around the house for a DVD case.Īs for the second question, if you accept Apple's argument that the Mac/PC will be the entertainment centre for the home, the iTV is probably the simplest device you could come up with.

Anything I buy on my MacBook - songs, TV shows, movies - are backed up to the server when I plug it into my home network (could the Leopard backup APIs achieve this?) and thus always available regardless of where my Mac is. Personally, I'd prefer to have a home entertainment storage server, essentially something akin to the iTV but with a large hard disk (or RAID) attached, which stores all my iTunes and other media.

Wouldn't it be far better if you could purchase the film via the iTV, without having to go to your Mac/PC? (If this is possible, feel free to ignore this paragraph.

Another problem is if your home PC is a laptop, which might not be in the home, or will sleep if inadvertently shut.Īlso, it is a bit tedious if you have to get up from your sofa to your Mac, start downloading the film/show, then return to the couch and wait for the film/show to start playing.

Have your entertainment network rely on your Mac/PC is fine except when you need to restart after installing software (could the hard disk in the iTV buffer enough content to keep going until the Mac restarts? Possibly). Personally, I think Apple's choice is a bit unwieldy. how well does the iTV serve the topology Apple has chosen? what is the best home entertainment network design/topology? I think there's (at least!) two separate debates going on here. Let me qualify my remarks by saying I realize that the percentage of Americans who were looting after Katrina, is small, but when it's broadcast over international TV, it reflects on the whole country. To me it's unacceptable for Americans to be doing that sort of thing as the 'leaders of the free world.' Thats one area where the Japanese have the high ground over Americans sense of community through disaster. I do hope that someday I can make a return visit.īack to the bit about looting, I feel ashamed and embarrassed of my own countrymen in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina when we all saw people, including police officers, looting Walmart and many other businesses. I lived in Japan for one year while serving in the US Marines, and I enjoyed every minute of my stay there. That's a sign of a very respectable and community oriented civilization. If it's true that there has been no looting, I think that says a lot for the Japanese people. She went on to say that the total population is about half that of the US, squeezed into an area the size of Montana. I was watching ABC World News with Diane Sawyer this evening and she said there have been no reports of looting since the earthquake.

No single magical technology improvement is going to come along to alleviate our energy crisis.įinally, there is tremendous social, political, and economic pressure to continue using fossil fuels and nuclear energy rather than the alternatives. In fact, it is obvious to me that there is no direct replacement for fossil fuels and nuclear energy - replacing them will require both 1) an increase in global energy efficiency in order to reduce power demands, and 2) aggressive implementation of wind, hydro, geothermal, and solar sources, among others.

Solar panels are a useful supplement to other power sources in certain regions where favorable environmental conditions exist. Not to mention the mountainous topography. Unless you something we don't know, there is zero chance that you are going to be installing a 100 square mile solar array in the park. Quote your 'studies', first of all, but I find your assertion pretty bizarre as originally stated - mostly because Death Valley is almost entirely subsumed within Death Valley National Park.

There is absolutely no need to be insulting. None of the studies I have read proposing this, have suggested the sort of ecological impact you are implying.
