I just changed my mom's living room experience with a Roku box. I got her the extra fancy one that can play Angry Birds for $99, along with a year of netflix. I have to pay for a Hulu account for work, so I'll be setting her up with that, too. She's nearly 70 and didn't have a problem figuring it out.
I've got a Samsung TV loaded with apps. Netflix, Vudu(not with Ultraviolet, so the stuff I buy isn't tied to a company), Hulu, etc... Using my Synology NAS and my Android phone, I can even remotely playback media through the TV using my phone as a remote.
The cable company may lose a few more customers, but it won't be because of Apple.
this comment sanctions the end of /.
It's either a bad, bad, bad astroturf and brand crapfest or I just saw it pass by in a woosh: a generation of geeks replaced by one of geeky consumers. I am sitting in between, and I don't know who's the saddest of the lot :(
... and the language! oh boy, "experience" what is that, for $deity's sake...
