Not watching the video, the first retail store is 20 minutes from my house, not NYC.

If you watched the video you would realize how much of a fool you are making yourself out to be.

Steve jobs in the video says he is at Tysons Corner, VA.

This is a recording of what they played at Macworld 2001 in NyC. Talking about macworld. Not the store. The store is Tysons corner VA.

I was just there. I think they just go to the back like when they check your phone for water damage.

sure i may not have that many shares like some people, but its still worthwhile to me

its enough that if i were to sell it all, all the profit i made i could book a round trip flight to hong kong and have a very tiny bit of spending money.

(of course i know i would be taxed on the profit)

Wow. So I used to use my 2nd gen ipod nano for 8 years.

Then one day I was running outside with it and water got in it somehow and it just died. I tried drying it and resetting it. I tried plugging it into the wall outlet and charging it. I tried plugging it into the computer and charging it and seeing if itunes would read it. Nothing.

I tried the same thing again a month later. Nothing. Then a few months later and nothing.

Then I tried it yesterday which was about 6 months since it happened and it just decided to turn on and works just like it always did. No idea why, but awesome!

Ok. So for 2 whole months I was able to use my ipod no problem whatsoever. Then a few days ago it again died with no warning. No water in it this time. I brought it with me (fully charged) when I was going for a run and when I put it on and hit play.. nothing. It was dead again.

Tried recharging it for a whole day again, nothing. Tried resetting it again, nothing.

I am being mind fucked.

Totally late, totally off-topic...

XBMC runs fine on an aTV2. Heck that's one of the more stable platforms. Too bad the HW is junk (compared to today's boxes) and only pushes out 720P.

Plex? Oh God don't even get me started.

If you want easy plug and play XBMC the new Fire TV is promising. Once it's rooted entirely. But you can side-load XBMC.
