The Apple TV has not failed…
—
One of the memes I’m seeing in the discussion of the iPad is that the Apple TV is one of Apple’s failures. It seems to be a common idea and an easy target, but I think that idea is dead wrong. Yes, it hasn’t sold 800 billion units like the iPod and the iPhone, but that it hasn’t been an insanely successful product doesn&# ...

I kept on turning the volume up and down, until I quit after a few minutes. ...
In a quiet moment yesterday I asked my Twitter network: “what’s one thing that you have been putting off that would improve your blog?
