First off, jettredmont, I have to agree with jliechty, your ignorant rambling was like the sound of nails scrapping down a chalkboard but in literary form. How could you use big words like luminosity and chrominance, but be so completely off at the same time. Impressive.
Secondly, just my two cents after reading about all of this, it's complete fiction. It'd be nice to see, but it's just not in Apples cards right now.
Lastly, many have talked about the superdrive capability on this fictional device and how this one up's Tivo. Mostly as a clarification, Tivo does now have one model by pioneer that can actually record and playback shows and movies on the built in DVD drive. Too bad it costs so damn much or I'd buy one in a second. Add ACC to the home media option and that Tivo package with DVD writing is a hard one to beat. Tivo and Apple really do go very well together. Both have a loyal fan following and flawless usability. Man, a partnership between the two... one can dream.
