Mac Love @ Macworld SF 2008

This space is reserved for some totally awesome news. Until then we have a live feed at Engadget.

To quote Steve Jobs, "I'd like to say all of us have tried. We have, MSFT, Amazon, TiVo, VuDu, Netflix, Blockbuster -- we've all tried to figure out how to get movies over the net onto the TV. We've ALL missed. No one's succeeded yet. We tried with Apple TV -- it was designed to be an accessory for iTunes and your computer. But that's not what people wanted."

So Video Streaming and HD Rentals on Apple Hardware is a Reality Now. No new iPhones or iPods. Macs are still expensive, $1799 for an underpowered Super Thin MacBook Air. But you can play Warcraft on it. The Dell XPS M1530, 15.4" is bigger, faster and only $1299.
