lol Seriously? Apple TV? Big media is dead. The power is going to move from distribution to the manufacturer.

This reminds me of the logic used by every government subsequent to one that actually fixed the problems. The visionary turns it around and they apply a force, it continues to accelerate and you see the velocity increasing. That force stops and yet the velocity continues. Just a testament to the force that Jobs was and also the right product at the right time. The main selling point of which was multi touch screen, high portability and long battery life. That was what had been missing forever. So they got their hands on the tech (magically from somewhere - ahem US military, who had the SSD and battery tech at least 7 years before) and off they went. None of that is a big surprise. It's surprising though that people can still take credit for the work of others like that.

That's got to be on the money. I totally agree, but with one tiny thing, and I use the term advisedly, standing in the way: The iWatch. It could happen, though first gen probably not so much. Other than that, if that fails, short them all the way.
