Many viewers acknowledge they have now conflated the multiple villains in their minds; in the words of one, "Lonelyboy43 has so many bad guys on that show, it's hard to keep track...
...thing, even teased at a product that will launch in January, code-named iTV. As eagerly anticipated as the movie-download store itself, the iTV looks like a Mac mini, and is intended to connect to your TV set and connect wirelessly to computers to retrieve video and audio content. Other products like this have been on the market for years, but industry watchers think Apple has the charm and design savvy to sell "media servers" to a mainstream audience...
