Apple TV: Trying to Make Itself Comfortable in the Living Room
As even Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs admits, the digital living room has been a tough nut to crack. All of us have tried: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, TiVo, Vudu, Netflix, Blockbuster, Jobs said at the Macworld conference Jan. 15. We've all missed. No one's succeeded yet. The notion is intriguing: finding a way to move video from the Web and from the PCs in consumers' home offices to the big-screen TVs.

The latest iPhone controversy comes courtesy of a grade-school math problem: If Apple reports that 4 million iPhones have been sold, and AT&T reports that 2 million iPhones have been activated with AT&T accounts, and current estimates peg iPhone sales in the UK, Germany, and France in the neighborhood of 350,000 to 400,000, and if 20 percent of all iPhones sold are hacked and unlocked, how many iPhones are left unaccounted for?

In a review of Apple's iPhone, I wrote glowingly about a few features that had nothing to do with making a call. I loved the simple Notes program used to jot reminders you could then e-mail to a friend or your office inbox. Another plus was the ease of e-mailing a photo, the best such application on any device I have used.
