New Apple Lust Objects

They really need to stop stinging the early adapters. That's their target base.

this must be that backlash i've heard so much about

Yay rentals. (Seriously. I've been waiting for this, Netflix downloads etc. to get some traction.)

$20! SWIZZ

Miramax, Touchstone Fox, WB, Paramount Universal and Sony all in

Nice.

appletv must be next

Disney , ofcourse.

First run on day of DVD release, plus library

UK in 2011, ITV4 films only

Hmm, the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray studio divide unites for Apple.

Please Apple, kill both formats!

Launch end of Feb, sorry 30 days after DVD release

"$20 upgrade for existing users"

FUCK THAT NOISE. and i'm not even an existing user.

UK in 2011, ITV4 films only

hey, they had goldfinger the other night.

Please Apple, kill both formats!

What he said!

24 hrs to watch after you start watching, 30 days after you pay to watch it, can watch on any device and move between devices whilst watching.

$2.99 for library $3.99 for new

the cry of the recent hd-dvd purchaser

appleTV coming now

Tunes Movie Rentals launches today in the U.S. International will launch later this year. Software updates for iPods and iTunes will be forthcoming

if the movies are less than 720p then fuck that noise

hey this sounds quite good

apple TV, people didn't want it, so now apple tv 2.0

the cry of the recent hd-dvd purchaser

well, not so recent, but this is exactly correct and I'm not particularly ashamed of my sour grapes in this case.

buy and rent direct from apple with it, no computer required

no i agree totally

apparently rentals are HD.

will directly pull photos from flickr

Apple TV Take 2. No computer required. Rent movies on Apple TV. DVD quality AND HD + Dolby 5.1

"No computer required"
This was U+K

Podcasts = audio and video

purchases can sync back to mac this was also U+K

extra dollar for HD movies

So $5 to rent a new HD movie? That actually sounds a tad steep to me.

"100 titles today"

Armageddon, Armageddon special edition...

Star trek apparently.

<i>Please Apple, kill both formats!</i>

Apple kills the movie theatre business, more like.

goldfinger

just tell me it will be 802.11n, mount wirelessly on my desktop, i can drag divx files onto it, and they will then show up in the movies menu, that's all i want

of course it will probably be extremely hard to do that, since otherwise why would anyone use the movie rental thingie

not excited by this at all :(

... which, going by past experience, means in six months i'll think it's the best thing ever. still.

Social networking!

"Can preview movies from the interface, and see what other users who have rented that movie have rented"

I hope it is has a better interface. That one they replaced Front Row with in Leopard is total fucking toss.

Also tracer otm re putting yr own movies on it

This could be the development that stops people talking about movies!

wait, FIRST-RUN titles?? why would the studios agree to that?

"and see what other users who have rented that movie have rented"

STET has been watching:

goldfinger
goldfinger
goldfinger
anal academy vols 1-9
goldfinger

how long does keynote run? 1hr and a half?

I thought more an hour?

Y IS APPLE KEEP SHOWING BLADEZ OF GLORY IN PRESENTATION AS EXAMPLE OF MOVIE AVAILABLE
