Whish Virb would take off a little more. Seems like Leo Laporte gave them that bump a year ago and then it died.

Yeah, Steve Gibson does so much for the computer tech world and has such a big heart too. He deserves so much credit and Security Now is a great podcast. I'll be signing up.

Catharina says:

Hi Folks,

Been listening to Leo on the podcast for a few months now and just joined the TWiT army. Was wondering if there was a place to discuss the Security Now latest podcast about the cross site scripting and jikto? I'd like to get some more info on that.

Thanks, Cat =^..^=

That's a great question Catherina. I've listened to every Security Now and I've only ever heard Steve Gibson mention his newsgroup:
http://www.grc.com/discussions.htm

An online forum for the show would be fantastic. I suppose the closest thing to it, that I can find, is twit.tv's episode pages for each SN episode:
http://www.twit.tv/sn

Just click on the newest episode. There are episode-specific comments for each one.

Also you can donate to TWIT.tv 2 dollars and they will let you on their official forums that they do check.

@ ZicklePop

Wow, I've been donating for well over a year and didn't even know that. Thanks :)

Tremolo says:

Agreed. I feel like I kind of want it, but definitely don't need it.

I'll wait until the 2nd or 3rd generation ones come out. By then, there should be more actual hi-def iTunes content, not the lo-res stuff, and it might do more and be more slick. I imagine it streaming with a standardized 802.11n spec someday.

For now, the $4 cable I bought to connect my iPod to my TV will serve me well. Not enough there to warrant dropping that much cash on it in my opinion.

Jon says:

While I would love to see higher quality pay-to-play content on iTunes, the video podcast selection is excellent.

I also use AppleTV to time-shift Netflix rentals (using Handbrake/MediaFork), and 'hypothetically' (wink wink) other TV shows and/or movies, in DivX or XviD format, could easily be converted to AppleTV format via VisualHub.

Just my $0.02

I'd buy it, if i had the money. Has all the features i need.

ZicklePop says:

I'd buy it if it worked on standard def TVs.

Tremolo says:

Since I've been hearing about all the hacks you can do to it, I change my opinion to: I would get it if I had that kind of money to throw around, but it's still not one of the things I need. ;)

m Dot says:

the DRM is pretty much inobtrusive to me. Plus, whose to say you can't put your own content on there?

posted Mar 28


Jon says:

Very little content on my AppleTV has DRM. ...and most of what does are TV shows downloaded from the 'Free on iTunes' section of the store.

posted Apr 2


ZicklePop says:

You care about DRM but not all the awesome hacks you could put on there? Odd.

m Dot says:

I think this weeks Mac Break Weekly has actually convinced me to purchase an appleTV

They do still seem to love it. I can imagine spending hours watching YouTube videos from my couch -- that's why I think I'll never get one. :-)
