When did people start calling them "smart boxes"?

I agree with the previous poster, a TV upgrade would be needed if you want to go blu-ray. Personally, I'm not buying anymore physical media. The kids just end up scratching it.

How about changing the title to "Top Mac Apps to Organize Your Life in 2012"? I think that is more accurate.

Wow! Really? You equate what Ana did with the above?! Go google "country style furniture". None of the images look like this thing.

Only the 2nd image is Rainmeter, actually. The others are Win8.

There is also a tile in Metro for the desktop. I don't know why that wasn't mentioned.

I think you could've pared this list down by at least half. I'll give you Google Nav, and Google Voice as an advantage to the iPhone. I'm willing to bet the rest of the list didn't factor into your decision.

You might be waiting a long time. The reason other manufacturers can't offer anything like the Air is because Apple is buying up all of the components.

"I personally use a Galaxy Tab and an Evo, and love them both (especially after rooting them!)." @MsTiggy

The problem with Android is that Google is giving the carriers the power to mess it up. Users have to root their device to like it. Most won't go thru the hassle of all that.

"The 'Walled garden' approach is a HUGE step back from what makes today's internet great." @Nerves

Apple's not blocking the internet. If you are talking about the App Store, the walled garden keeps you away from viruses.

Not sure the Logitech is a server. Looks like a streamer to me.

Personally, I think getting a Mac Mini to use as a media server is the way to go.
