There is one important thing missing from this discussion: most studio contracts have outs for "extraordinary events" which includes any kind of strike. I would expect that the studios use this opportunity to clean house, and improve their numbers. There is a greater business context in which to place the strike.

The AppleTV is a joke platform for now. Internet infrastructure in this country is exceedingly slow and the cable companies still own your access to high speed cable. But if the FCC succeeds in breaking the cable companies' hold on our viewing choices, then the AppleTV will be a viable platform and New Media can surge ahead. I hope that the AppleTV becomes successful, but right now it is pretty much an overpriced TIVO.
