I agree. Once of the growing challenges will be for companies that must meet certain compliance requirements, such as PCI. It leaves us with the challenging question: “How do you effectively implement these policies, when you are unable to audit much of your infrastructure, because it is in the cloud?”

I think Google is doing something to create a secure computing environment for the web. It seems quite natural that our desktop computing platforms should become a web based environment. I can’t wait till the day you can replace your computer and within 10 minutes you are back up and running on another piece of hardware with all your files and services coming from the Internet or local Intranet. Mainframes and minis are making their way back with a different look! I hate upgrading Windows and having to reload every dog gone thing I need. It’s an 8 hour project that I just don’t care for. And viruses, don’t get me started!

Robert, you are correct. It is the “hackability” that makes it exciting. Otherwise, it is just an extension of the Apple Store. The site http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Main_Page provides a multitude of new and exciting uses, XBMC, HULU, and Pandora, just to name a few. The current prices for the Apple TV coupled with these additions make ia good choice for expanding your entertainment system.
