not sure it will be any cheaper, seeing how Apple prices product, but it may end up being more meaningful. We'll see.

would love to here what your friend thinks about possible misuse of the led light embedded camera, like perverts for instance. Really just curious if that is something he consideredOriginally posted by Obliviax:
I think they tired to sell Apple TV as part of a Sony smart TV. It may have been too far ahead of its time and are now just selling the apple TV adapter.
I believe in the "Internet of Things" (IoT). If you don't know what that is it is a concept that all devices will be connected to the Internet for more efficient control and monitoring. Today, we see "nest" thermostats, nanny cams, and more. I've got a friend who is coming out with embedding a camera and a smoke detector inside an LED can light that is connected to the Internet. You can be informed of a smoke event, and open the app to see what is going on (or just to see what the kids are doing).
Regardless, the TV is just a device in the wifi connected world. AT&T uverse lets me watch TV on my iPad from anywhere I can get a highspeed line. Better Call Saul has an interactive way to comment on the show while its on. (a way to get you to watch the commercials and not DVRing it and zipping them later). I'd love to watch PSU games and be able to chat on here (the game thread thing is awful, IMHO). You could have two windows: a game window and a chat window.
Really, the ideas are endless. But Apple, with the devices and iTunes is in a great place to broaden their offerings. If the cable companies are opening to this, its game over.

Driverless cars will be safer than cars with drivers. I don't know how anyone can argue against this point, though you can surely try. It is usually people that have not a clue arguing against these thingsOriginally posted by Grant Green:
Your vision is short sighted. I don't doubt that the providers will put up a fight, but we are already half way there. I have plenty of friends that ditched cable/sat and just do netflix/hulu already. HBO to go is out now. It's just a matter of time and the providers will have to adapt.
Technology is advancing exponentially at this point. You sell software engineering way too short. Driverless cars in our lifetime. Legal issues will surely arise, but the benefit to safety will be too great to prevent them.
