give me DVD sharing to my appleTV!
hey I can dream eh?
Erk, DVD sharing would be sweet. Or, a Apple TV specific Blu-ray player that plugs into the unused USB slot on the back and sits underneath.
Mmmmmm, pancakes.
“BabyGotMac has posted screenshots . . . “
Nice! Hey baby, is that a Power Mac 9600 you’ve got stuffed in that trunk? Let’s hear that booty chime.
Hey! The Bakla Obama ads are gone! Yeah!
Being able to back up to a disk connected to the airport extreme will please a lot of people, including myself.
@Reclaimer
“Bakla”? Is that supposed to be a dig? I don’t get it….
“503 Service Temporarily Unavailable”

Slashdotted already.
@Ampar
LOLOLOL
Bakla is a derogatory Filipino word for gay. So, now you know just how incredibly clever that was.
From their home page:
“Thanks for visiting BabyGotMac.com – we are currently experiencing higher than average traffic, so please bear with us!”
That’s a nice way of saying that their server imploded, collapsed into itself and tore a small hole in the fabric of space and time. Don’t worry though. I’m sure they’ll get screenshots. Somehow. As soon as the light stops bending.
I wonder if “List” view (“Stacks” option) will allow hierarchical menus? Hope so.
“Thanks for visiting BabyGotMac.com – we are currently experiencing higher than average traffic, so please bear with us!” lol.. behold the power of MDN
Apple should add DVD sharing to Apple TV so you could use it both as a DVD player and as a movie downloader to get rid of one of the boxes we have hooked up to our TVs. Being compatible with our old libraries (DVDs) while introducing a new paradigm would probably help it be adopted more quickly.
ATTN: MDN & Other Blind Defenders of all things Steve Jobs:
Please admit that OS10.5 was released prematurely – based on historic Mac OS releases and Apple’s usual practice.
Second, that Steve’s obsession with his phone was the cause of the premature release of OS10.5.
And, finally, that Steve masterminded the largest public beta testing in all of personal comupting history with the premature release of OS10.5 much to the frustration of Mac faithful across the world.
Thank you.
What about “autohide” for the menu, just like my dock in Tiger?
@ Admission Due – If this was beta testing, it sure took it to a whole new quality level. Apart from a few things that need to be straightened out – like Time Machine options and so on I’ve had no issues with Leopard.
No release is perfect from the get-go…
I would speculate that Apple is planning something more with this DVD sharing thing. Wouldn’t it be cool to plug a USB Blue-Ray drive to your Time Capsule or Airport Extreme. That way you could even backup from any Mac on your WiFi to burn a 50GB disk, and also access it though your AppleTV to watch a movie. Then having built in Blue-Ray players is not longer required.
That is total nonsense. I and my company have been using Leopard since the day it came out, and we have been entirely pleased. No problems that I know of.
I’d never use a DVD sharing option for the AppleTV since my Blu-Ray player up-converts DVDs to 1080p. Although I realize that Blu-Ray hasn’t caught on and the vast majority haven’t found a reason to buy one, I don’t think that Apple thinks that the AppleTV’s use is for optical media (be it installing a Blu-Ray drive or DVD sharing). The purpose of the AppleTV is to get media to your TV without the need for DVDs or next generation discs.
Oy, the site is already slashdotted… I mean, MDN’ed!
@Admission Due
Aren’t those Vista beta testers still waiting for their first update?
Actually OS X 10.0 was an extended beta test – about until 10.2.x came out
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” /> Yes 10.5.0 has rough spots – any x.0 release of just about anything has rough spots. Glad to see that 10.5.2 is shaping up as a real hammer to many issues.
Does the update eliminate the asinine glossy screen?
Still won’t buy. Love my matte screen.
