P.S. The Apple TV has not yet had OpenGL support added, the GoForce drivers have not yet been coaxed to run on regular Mac OS inside of Apple TV. Apple TV's performance will improve greatly once GoForce drivers have been installed properly, but to-date nobody has figured out how to do that yet.

Show me some low priced off the shelf PC that is a 7 inch square thats 1 inch tall and has HDMI and optical outputs. ]]>Apr 2nd 2007 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/
Oh, and if Apple is listening: Don't go the Microsoft route with this thing (see: Xbox 360). Don't start epoxying the hard drive into the case, or pulling other shenanigans to try and stop this. Let the modding continue (it'll get press from the geek set) and you'll sell more hardware, not less. Most people aren't doing this stuff, but for people like me the fact that it can be done pushes us over the edge into the "buy" category.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/Apr 2nd 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/
I see that http://www.appletvhacks.net/ is down.. I can't help but wonder if Apple legal got them, their ISP, or wether or not they themselves got hacked! :O]]>Apr 3rd 2007 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/Apr 2nd 2007 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/Apr 3rd 2007 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/
Keep dreaming!!!!!
don't you know that Apple is the king of all lock-in...when have you known them to show the modding community any love and why would they start now when there whole business model is set on DRM....?

- Steve Jobs Anti-DRM stance since before the iTunes Music store existed (see Rolling Stones interview)
- Apple announcing today all of EMI's music will be available in high quality DRM-free formats
- By the end of the year 50% of the content on iTune will be DRM-free
- Mac OS X having zero activation or serial number protection (compare with Windows XP or even worse Vista!)
- Microsoft's draconian Windows Media DRM policies bending over for the Music cartels. Harsher usage restrictions than Fairplay has ever had
- Microsoft's integration of HDCCP over HDMI into Vista to lock down HD-DVD and Blue-ray HD video playback on Vista PCs
- Apple's open source OS X and contributions to the OSS community
- Apple's support for the open ISO MPEG-4 formats as opposed to Microsoft's proprietary Windows media formats

Etc etc

Sheesh!

"Keep dreaming!!!!!

Guess you never heard of Woz and his "Modders Delight", the Apple ][+. Guess you didn't hear today's news about EMI and DRM. Guess you don't know that that there are no serial numbers or other DRM on Mac OS X. ResEdit, anyone?

The Mac is not an Apple. True, dat! The Mac is supposed to be an Appliance Computer. That's not saying you can't mod it. That's just saying you got to get creative.]]>Apr 3rd 2007 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/
I just wonder how well it will handle 720p h.264 or mp4. As it stands now my mini just cant handle it without frame dropping.]]>Apr 3rd 2007 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/apple-tv-benchmarked-not-a-supercomputer-in-disguise/
