Well, after all my blustering about not letting stuff sit fallow, I have to plead guilty. The Apple TV came yesterday and of course I wanted to rip open the package and get started. And of course I had other obligations. So I went out, did my stuff, tried to keep my mind off of my new toy and then at about midnight last night I finally got to start playing.
So it really didn't sit around for all that long but it felt like an eternity. I set it up. Played some Sonic Youth and The Clash and some old Muppets video clips. Finally my wife yelled at me to "turn off that noise" so I went to bed. This is going to be tons of fun. Oh, and that client I mentioned in my winning post? His Apple TV is still sitting on his desk unused (though it's now made its way out of the box). Thanks again.

My name is Lauren. I think that I should win a new Apple T.V because i love the company. I am terrible with technology but can do just about anything with Apple products. I think that having an Apple T.V would also make my life less hectic. I am always doing homework or at a sport or busy in someway. Sometimes I just want to sit down and relax. An Apple T.V would be something big to look forward to after a hard week of work and playing sports. An Apple T.V would help my family as well as me. My sister has softball practices that go until 8:00 at night. She always misses the shows she likes to watch. With an Apple T.V she would be able to record the shows that she is missing and be able to watch them later. My parents both like to watch different shows, at different times. If we had an Apple T.V they cuold each enjoy the shows they want to see and there would be no arguring about the remote. I am graduating from 8th grade this year and I really wanted a new Apple laptop. I would much rather have the T.V after I read about it and saw all of the awsome things that it can do. The apple T.V seems like a huge boost is technology and I really think that me and my family could benifit from it. I would take super good care of the T.V and I would use it all the time. There are only two T.V's in our house and I think that having one in my room would be good for me and for my parents. I am always watching some kind of Pirates of the Caribbean thing on our T.V and they can never watch the news or a certain show. Please put this into consideration for an Apple T.V. If I was to win something as great as this I would be so greatful and I would use it with care and It would be the best T.V i have ever had.~Lauren

Let me start off by saying that I love all things Apple. I have 3 computers in my apartment - all Apple. I have 5 iPods. I CONSTANTLY write about Apple on my site, and nothing gets me more excited that a good Apple rumor - except a good Apple CONFIRMED rumor. All that said, I'm not sold on the Apple TV. I simply think Apple has a lack of focus right now for what they want the device to be. When it was first announced last year, it seemed as if it would soley be for streaming to the living room - then it was release with a 40 gig hard drive - then just a couple months later that was upgraded to a 160 gig hard drive. One would assume this was to handle eventual HD content, but Apple's previous position had been that the hard drive would really only be used as a buffer - 160 gigs is an awfully big buffer.
So sure, maybe they realized they made a mistake by initially only launching with the 40 gig drive, and good on them for correcting it - but it's definitely given me doubts as to their direction for the device - do they have a firm one in place? After all, it was Steve Jobs himself who said at the All Things Digital Conference that the Apple TV was a mere 'hobby' - the mother of all downplays. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and Apple to fully reveal its plan. YouTube on the device is a definite nice step (especially when I heard you can tag videos on your computer to view later on the TV), but what they need is a movie rental service. It's been rumored, but if and when they get that going - and if the movies are in HD - I would buy an Apple TV in a second...if I don't win the one here :)

Hi, my name is Rick Leigh. I am an actor and watch TV a lot to find different characteristics and reactions that I can use in performances. I am at rehearsals sometimes. They are always, however, during prime time television. Therefore; I miss the majority of my shows. I could get them with the Apple TV and watch them. Then, I could still run my daily performances and rehearsals and get my shows that I need to watch. My favorites are House and Law and Order: SVU as they have so many different moods which also mean different facial expressions. This could propel me into my wanted future of one day becoming a professional actor and singer. I have no money sources of my own except for my parents. My mom is a spender and dad is as stubborn as a mule. I have my own computer as well. Another fact: I love Apple products. I am now saving up for a MacBook or MacBook Pro. I love the iPods and the gorgeous designs of these technological revolutions. So please Apple TV, Pimp My Life!!!!!!

Apple really does rock. I love iPods. I would love to have an Apple T.V. It would mean the world to me. I would love to have a nice,shiny,sleek square waiting for me when I come home. I would to show it off to my friends and family. It would really mean alot. I will have this good sensation in my stomach that will say, ''You actually have an Apple T.V'' It would feel great beyond measures! I would keep on having to pinch myself to believe it is true.
I deserve a Apple T.V cause It's nearly my birthday and I know I wont get a gift as great as this. When I'm bored the Apple T.V will there for me. When I'm sad it will be there for me. When I'm lonely it will be there for me. It will always be there if I need it. I really really really want it. I want it sooo much that I can't write in words. PLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz can I have it? |

I believe I deserve the APPLE TV because I cannot afford to buy one myself. I have never owned an APPLE product although I have given IPODs to friends and relatives as gifts and also gift cards. Everyone I know who has an APPLE product is very pleased with its performance and have raved to me about buying one of their products, which I would if I could afford it. I have friends who can afford it and if I am the winner I will be able to show it off and they will be able to go out and purchase one for themselves. What better way of advertising your product amongst the general public! Give it to me, pleassssssssssse!! Thank you.

My wife and I just bought our first home. We're hoping over the next few months to build a humble entertainment center that will bring all of our A/V entertainment together in a symphony of sight and sound (and smell until we get rid of the old carpet).
The one piece missing from our dream theater is that magical bridge between our TV and the large cache of music and video we have stored on our Mac Mini home server. Sure, I'm a big DIY sort of guy and I've tried out various solutions to bring my PC video to the big screen, but every attempt has ended in tears. Most people I know who built their own HTPC ended up abandoning it within a few months. The Xbox360, Tivo, and Wii all attempt in various ways to serve your local network media to your television, but none of them succeeds like the Apple TV does. None come close when comparing formats, usability, interface, speed, and the utter silence of the sleek little Apple TV box. In closing, I offer you this humble haiku: My media weeps. It longs to be enjoyed With Apple TV.

I have this client. Rich. Nice. Great home. He's got all these great gadgets. Always something new. "Oh, I just got a new MacPro and a copy of FCS 2." Or "They just delivered my new Steadicam Jr.; let's go shoot something." It's not obnoxious because he actually uses the stuff - and arguably even needs it. And yeah, I'm jealous because I could arguably need it too but I get to play with great equipment without having to worry about money.
One day I come in and yes, there's a new pile of toys and in that pile is: "Wow, you decided to get an Apple TV." And though I'm eager to see it running we have work to do. And a week later: "Huh, you haven't set up the Apple TV yet." And a week after that: well, it would have been rude to comment on how it's still sitting unopened. I don't imagine that I'll ever be wealthy enough to buy stuff and let it sit fallow. Heck, I'm not even wealthy enough to purchase an Apple TV. But I really want to sit down and play with one. I'm craving it. It would make me happy.

I think I should get that apple T.V. because my family are like the biggest fans of apple.We have a apple computer, laptop, and everyone in my family all have ipods videos.but we have a really small t.v. because we cant afford a good one. After we heard about the t.v. we said we have to get it unless its under 150 dollars because my dad got in a accident and now we have to buy a new car which is a lot of money.When i found out about winning this t.v. i was all for it.I really think my family would love this t.v. i havent even told them i was trying to win it yet.if I were to win it i would give it to my dad for his birthday coming up soon just so he would be happy. besides he would probably enjoy it more than me because he has an ipod video.if i were to give him something like that for his birthday he'd be the happiest man alive.He sould set it up where everyone can see it including our guests he would probably put on top of our fireplace.it would be really nice to have someone come over and see a brand new apple t.v. on top of our fireplace. if you chose me i would never be able to thank you enough.We our also a fan of itunes but we dont have it no more because its to much money.i really think you should pick me because if you dont we would never be able to afford that t.v.
hope i win Steve if you need to email me email me at pascual7151@msn.com |

Hi; my name is Bridge Leigh. I deserve an Apple TV because I would take perfect care of it and I work very hard in school and make all A’s. I’m shooting for a scholarship to somewhere in New York. I want to go to Julliard. We have 2 televisions that we actually use often. My parents are older in their late 50’s. They would be happier as well with an extra help on the television. We are occasionally gone, but we wouldn’t have to worry about missing shows, because we could then just buy it on iTunes. Also, we have no way to play movies but a VCR upstairs that usually doesn’t work. Also, in my father’s room, his VCR is all busted up. In my town of Hernando, we have no movie rental places except for our library and video rental store. The library has all DVD’s. We have no player. At the rental store, it costs more than $5 for each VHS. Also, there are hardly any VHS’s. It’s mostly DVD’s. You must see my point that my family needs an Apple TV. It would really mean a lot to me. My entire family would love it.

I believe that I deserve an Apple TV because I really like Apple products, I only have a first generation iPod shuffle, which is messing up on me so I need a new music and video player. I also have a big screen TV in my house, but I get confused on a lot of channels because I have to scroll through the guide, which is about 700 channels long, and I don’t usually find the shows I like. They are also supposed to be better on the Apple TV!
I also am graduating from 8th grade and I made a perfect 100 on my EOC for Algebra 1! I also made one point away from a perfect score on my math EOG! I know that those may not be believable, but it is true, and I will swear it in front of a court of law. As I have said, I believe that I deserve an Apple TV because I made a 100 on my EOC, one point away from perfect on my math EOG, and because my TV is confusing and my iPod is very out of date. Thank you for reviewing my entry. Thanks You, Joshua Griffin |

My partner is addicted to Apple products. He raves about how great they are and enthusiastically points them out when they appear in films/tv shows. If there was a 12-Step meeting for apple-a-holics, I'd send him there! I think he loves his powerbook more than he loves me. I could strip naked and limbo dance under the table and he wouldn't even look up from the screen. He spends 90% of his time on his mac and falls on the floor laughing at the mac ads. Usually I get out my calculator and work out how much time he's wasted laughing.
A new Apple TV would occupy me while my partner is in Apple-Land (or I may be forced to put his beloved applemac on his head, position him under a tree and try to shoot it off with my X-box toy gun just to see how far it falls). If you would like to spare my partner of this dangerous and degrading experiment, please make me the winner of the shiny new Apple TV. To show my appreciation, I will then convert to the Apple Faith and give up my nerdy ways (and my calculator) for good. |

I believe I deserve an AppleTV because I am a senior just about to graduate from High School. While in school I studied electronics and computers. I graduated from the Lehigh Career and Technical Institute with the highest level of achievement possible. I will be attending the Lehigh Carbon Community College to study electronics and film production. Because I am involved in the study of electronics it is important to be “up” with the latest technology and the AppleTV is definitely “up”. I have been a die hard Apple user for a least 10 years. I have more macs than I do fingers and toes. The fact of the matter is that I always want the newest Apple gadget possible. But who wouldn't? I will soon be buying a Macbook Pro to help with my schoolwork. When I need to present a film project that I have made as a school assignment I will be able to do this with the AppleTV. Not only will I be able to present my own project but I will display my other classmates works as well. I hope you see the usefulness of the AppleTV in my possession and that it will not only be used for leisure but to help me with the daily tasks my school requires. I believe an AppleTV will help me excel at my schoolwork instead of being the “average student”.
