Apple on Apple TV Hacks

wondering what they would say.... I guess other than voiding the warranty, there's not much they can do, am i wrong? (probably :D)

good, but i have noticed a lot of these go without notice....

A very refreshing stance. Go apple! :)

awesome... this is very good news.

i imagine someone will vote this negative for some odd reason.

and why would they care that people are finding so many more reasons to buy one of these things.

I'm glad that Apple is taking so well to this. I was wondering if they would be like Sony and try and release updates to stop them from doing stuff like that.

Apple is being adult about this, unlike MSFT who did their best to stomp all over the Xbox hacks. They bricked mine for me when I connected it to XBLive. Nice!!! Even Sony doesn't get too twisted at PS hacks (and there are plenty of them). Like the quote says, we paid for the box, right?? Should Ford or GM be able to disable your car coz you change the engine mgmt software?? I don't think so! Just goes to show that it's better to do business with a company that respects it's customers not one that tries to control them. Go Apple!

i think the whole "aarg they're restoring my box because i hacked it" thing was a bit bogus anyway...

like apple would be tunneling in to the hacked boxes and putting everything right :rolleyes:


however, i would wait until there's some official word from Apple on the whole thing...

Well if the warrnty is broken by one of the hacks and th machine is damaged, apple will gian another sale. Also there are not going to be tons of people performing these hacks anyway.
