New iMac
If you watch jobs demo of the new iMac on
apple.com, you'll notice a bunch of talk that assumes your Mac is in your living
room, being used as a TV -- Jobs keeps talking about playing dvds with the
remote control while sitting on your couch. But even a 20 inch screen is
too small for a modern living room. I think the next generation of the Mac
Mini should connect directly to a TV. The resolution might be too sucky to
read web pages or do real work, but it's plenty good enough to watch movies
(duh) or run iTunes. And it would make a great
PVR.
Apple would make a home media
center a lot better than Microsoft, because Uncle Steve is capable of stopping
featuritis.
