The expression is couldn't care less. If they could care less they may very well be interested in the post, no?

Uh, no, the expression IS also "could care less", with the same meaning, perhaps with a tad more irony. Could care less, though.

I'll be the first one...

Why is Engadget posting so much about the Apple TV? I swear they're getting paid by Apple. Apple is SO over-hyped. Blah, blah, blah... :P

Anyway, thanks for the coverage. ;)

Think about it, it's from apple it's considered a major release, because apple is going to promote the fuck out of it. Also, look at what happened with the ipod, when that entered an undeveloped market, apple had huge success. This is why the ATV is getting so much coverage, because the prediction is that this thing is going to be huge. Also, when the PS3 was released, when the 360 was released, when either of these have updates, developments, or hacks, they get posts just the same, so please stop bitching about how many times you see apple on this site.

Here's an open source project that lets you push youtube videos and files from your local drive to iTunes and AppleTV.

I say boycott AppleTV and buying video via iTunes.
It just locks you up to the Apple digital monopoly.

If I buy a DVD I can take it over to friends and watch it on their TV, whenever and whereever. I can give the DVD away or even sell it.
Try doing that with your pay-per-view AppleTV iTunes programs.
Don´t you guys see how you are all building the prison wall around your content and lifestyle?
You don´t own it, it owns you!
Boycott Apple (and any other) digital monopoly!

It's been said all over the place, but 360 > AppleTV by far. The boys over at MIA have a few things to say about the Apple TV.

Anyone has transferred movies to Apple TV succesffully? I'd like to put some WMV/MPG videos onto Apple TV, but only found the shareware http://www.appletvvideoconverter.com/ can do this. Is there a free conversion program?
