Numberzz Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Cunning.TV or MacRumors Live. If you want to know how miserable it is here, here is a picture from outside my window. It's about 40ºF out and it's super foggy. But as they say, here in California, if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. Note: This is REAL FOG. None of that fake fog machine stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilis Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The $229 drop in price for AppleTV sounds decent. I have a hacked Xbox with XBMC but it doesn't stream my iTunes library which is where most of my media is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
