“For a long, dreamlike week now, I’ve been watching the future of television,” Stephen Lynch reports for The New York Post
“It started when I bought a device called AppleTV, a $230 mini-computer that plugs into your television and connects, wirelessly, to Apple’s popular iTunes service,” Lynch reports. “Through this, you can buy or rent an array of television shows and movies, many in high-definition, from $2 to about $20.”
“But I also loaded AppleTV with a software program called Boxee (something Apple does not authorize, but does not block, either),” Lynch reports. “Boxee lets you browse, though AppleTV’s wireless connection, Hulu.com, CBS.com, ABC.com, MTV.com and any number of sites that make television shows and movies available for free online.”
Lynch reports, “On my 42-inch TV, without having to get up from my couch, I have watched music videos by Jay-Z, old episodes of ‘Miami Vice,’ viral videos from the UK, ‘Ghostbusters,’ the latest ’24,’ Warner Bros. cartoons, a special on the origins of the universe .ñ.ñ. the list goes on and on. It’s enough to quit my job and gain 50 pounds.”
