jonandnic.com — I've collected some media, pulled it together with some AppleScripts and compiled some instructions to make your Mini look and feel like an AppleTV. Not a full software solution like some others are working on, but I think it looks pretty slick!

I'll be impressed if someone can give me a nice, easy, free download that enables the USB port on my Apple TV. All problems solved.

The next version of Front Row *better* look like Apple TV:* Actual use of metadata, like movie descriptions and TV "cover art"* Proper sorting of TV Shows (a long, long standing bug)* New/Not New highlighting of TV Shows (Front Row only supports Podcasts)And much more -- Front Row has been the ignored stepchild for too long.

People just need to be careful. Apple TV has a few enhancements aimed at protecting your screen. It flips the album art when viewing a CD. Unless frontrow 1.0 has this (and decent screen saving precautions are taken), I'd be a little leery about burn-in. Just FYI.

ENOUGH with the Apple TV posts! Seems like ever other damn article on digg is about Apple TV.

You Apple Kool-Aid Drinkers need to get a life. The kind of obsessiveness displayed here on AppleTV (which D-Link, Linksys and others had years ago) and then wasting time as ONE WISE poster noted "making a $599 (Apple) device to act like a $299 device." should be spent finding a date...... with a female, not your Made in China Mac.

Um...websterphreaky? Did you even follow the link to my website? I'm married (to a female -- and a pretty beautiful one at that), have an active and busy ministry life and career, and have an adorable baby boy. Seems to me that it's people like you who need a life, and that I'm doing just fine.

Your PowerBook is technically cable of running FrontRow, but its been disabled by Apple so that they can sell you a MacBook instead. Download the FrontRow Enabler from the Internets, and buy yourself a little KeySpan remote, and you'll be all set to run this on your PowerBook/G4/iMac/eMac...

Well... Seems to be vain for me...
