Apple Entering The Battle For The Livingroom: Mini Becomes The Tivo Killer
Posted by Stowe Boyd
The folks at Think Secret have leaked the blueprints of Apple's plans for the home entertainment market: A revamped Mac Mini with DVR capablities, bigger hard drive, and iPod dock, codenamed Kaleidoscope.
[from Think Secret - Road to Expo: Reborn Mac mini set to take over the living room]
Specifics surrounding Front Row 2.0 and Apple's DVR application are limited at this point, although sources with knowledge of the project have dubbed the latter a "TiVo-killer." The moniker might not be without some bias, however, as sources report that talks of an Apple-TiVo deal recently fizzled, prompting TiVo to independently announce this month that it will soon offer customers the ability to copy stored content to a video iPod.While Apple surprised watchers when the company delivered Front Row alongside updated iMac G5s recently, Apple's media center intentions have become startlingly clear in the past year since Apple first delivered the Mac mini and customers first started connecting the system to home theaters and installing it in automobiles. Sources have hinted that additional media announcements will further propel Apple's strategy, and with the hardware, software, and iPod sales behind it, Apple now seems poised to firmly plant its footprint in living rooms.
The only thing missing is an Apple game system...

Steve Jobs once said TV was for people who wanted to turn off their brains. By my estimation, that's a WHOLE LOTTA people. I think this is probably the kind of bogus rumor prevalent in the Mac community, but if it's true, I think we will see in 2006 the death of TiVo, Dell, HP, Sony, and, let's cross our fingers, Microsoft.
AAPL-- to $200-- and beyond.

"Mac mini is an overhyped underpowered p.o.s."
The current mini handles full-screen video quite well, thank you. That is all that would be required for this application. Needless to say, a bigger hard drive would be beneficial for TV recording purposes.

What other drugs will affect phentermine?
Permalink to CommentYou cannot take phentermine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), or phenelzine (Nardil) in the last 14 days.
Changes in insulin and other diabetes drug therapies may be necessary during treatment with phentermine.
Phentermine may reduce the effects of guanethidine (Ismelin). This could lead to an increase in blood pressure. Tell your doctor if you are taking guanethidine.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are taking a tricyclic antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil), amoxapine (Asendin), doxepin (Sinequan), nortriptyline (Pamelor), imipramine (Tofranil), clomipramine (Anafranil), protriptyline (Vivactil), or desipramine (Norpramin). These drugs may decrease the effects of phentermine.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with phentermine. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines
