Steve Jobs recently announced something about the Apple TV that REALLY irritated me

"This is the first time users can easily browse, find and watch YouTube videos right from their living room couch..."

Ahem. Really.

I'm not going to rant about Apple vs MS operating systems here - my friends with Macs know my opinions.

But I think if someone is going to make a "This is a first" announcement, they should consider doing the research behind it. I spent a LOT of time developing the first Yougle, and it's friend Yougle 2...and having someone say something like this leaves me quite annoyed.

Particularly since the fact that he is Steve Jobs means that everyone will believe it.

And he shares my first name! Ahh!

So if anyone knows him (or his email address) and enjoyed Yougle, please give him a quick slap on the head and ask him to at least send me an email saying 'oops - sorry for that!'. I'm also happy to accept millions of dollars in a settlement, but just an apology would be nice :)

Anyway, I think if you look hard enough you may also find that other programs such as MythTV and TVidia can handle Youtube videos, as well as the XBox Media Player. Of course, that last one requires a hacked XBox, so probably doesn't count as a consumer product.

Anyway, I've had my rant...back to Media Center development...
