Apple TV Update Delayed, But…

A few days ago, Apple released updates to its iWork '08 office applications suite, but that wasn't such a big event, after all. What everyone is (still) waiting is the Apple TV "Take 2" software, the update that would enable Apple TV users "to rent high definition movies directly from their widescreen TVs", and according to an official statement from Steve Jobs' company, "Apple now plans to make the free software download available to existing Apple TV customers in another week or two.", which shouldn't be that bad, after all...

As you probably know already, the new Apple TV software update, together with iTunes Movie Rentals, will allow you to rent movies from a collection of over 1,000 titles (by this month's end), all by pushing a button on your remote once! In this collection, there should also be over 100 HD titles, with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. The prices are going to start at $2.99 for older titles, up to #4.99 for new HD releases.

If you're still asking yourselves about the meaning of my title, now I will reveal to you something that you probably didn't know so far (I must admit I found about it today) - while the Apple TV software update may arrive a bit late, you can take your time to check the brand-new Mac video tutorials website launched by Apple as a part of Apple.com. This sub-site, available here, has six sections, each with video tutorials between 1 and 4 minutes long. The sections available are Mac OS X, Photos, Movies, Web, Music, and Documents, each with various subsections, such as "Anatomy of a Mac, "Customize Your Mighty Mouse", "Email a PDF", and so on.

These being said, I hope you will enjoy the "Find out how" website while waiting for Apple TV "Take 2"...
