Apple TV or XBox: Which Is the Living Room Winner? http://seekingalpha.com/article/84945-apple-tv-or-xbox-which-is-the-living-room-winner?source=feed#comment-205749 205749
You can download content for this content, but you will pay this amount EVERY year no matter what. With AppleTV you pay only for the content you buy. I find this way much more appealing. This way if I don't have the time to see a movie or TV show I don't pay anything.

Also, adding to andyzaky argument with respect to the interface please see the new interface that will be coming to the Xbox: www.engadget.com/2008/.../
This is clearly an interface for gamers, it will not appeal the general public.]]>

The Hidden Financial Impact of Apple's iPhone http://seekingalpha.com/article/82183-the-hidden-financial-impact-of-apple-s-iphone?source=feed#comment-189995 189995
One question related to this statement:
"Apple is forced to use what is called the subscription method of accounting for recognizing iPhone revenue"

I thought that Apple decided on its own to go with this method rather than being forced to use it. This is how it was described in the earning call when the financial of the iPhone business were first reviewed by Apple. Am I right?]]>
