Life is a State of Mind

Was not feeling well enough to go dancing tonight, and needed a night home with Erci anyway. We tried out the new Apple TV take 2 software and rented Stardust. It started playing about 50 seconds after we picked it and selected it. We enjoyed the movie, and the instant gratification was pretty cool.

Until this I had been a little disappointed in the take 2 version of our Apple TV, which I mostly got to watch internet content on my big screen. I can still watch internet content fine, but the additional layer of menus because of all the new options makes it a little tougher to get to my Terra and Rocketboom. I think it is worth it for effective video rental on demand. Video quality was very good, even in standard definition, and I liked the closed captioning which helped me with names of characters and quiet dialogue.
