   You have a low bar for "proof." Michael Arrington is not the NY Times and his waving his hands in the air citing anonymous sources is neither informative nor interesting. I will cancel my much beloved Last.fm account as soon as there is pr

   When setting up a media/gaming center after spending a long time without even a TV, I was surprised by how little progress there had been. The AppleTV is useless. My current setup is an xbox 360 + mac mini, and I'm pretty satisfied with it
