It isn't restricted to Apple TVs, it's restricted to anything that runs iOS >=4.2 or OS X >= 10.6.

I think you meant to put an "or" instead of "and" it's restricted to anything that runs iOS >=4.2 OR OSX >= 10.6

Yes, of course. Thank you, fixed.

Do those people frequently post comments to Hacker News?

Good lord, they might read it. I don't know. I was just trying to mention that Apple devices act like TVs to the regular population. That's all. I don't care if they read these comments, I care that HN users are not so constantly hiding in their bubble. It's clear to me now (via all the downvotes) that these comments are not welcome here - I'll stop. Sorry.

You came into a conversation where somebody had clearly just misread the page and didn't notice where it supported more hardware, and injected this bizarre guessing game of how hypothetical "regular" people could potentially use the phrase "Apple TV" to refer to any Apple hardware with a screen, and you're wondering why you're getting downvoted?

> and you're wondering why you're getting downvoted?

No, I'm not wondering that at all (where'd you get that idea?). I said very clearly that I understood, and was willing to stop the discussion as it's obviously unwelcome. Why keep hammering me on this?

Bizarre guessing game? I was making a single observation about terminology. Nevermind.

Interesting that Apple has finally decided to put live streams back up, I wonder whats brought it on internally. I'm not complaining, whilst Cook isn't quite the magician that Jobs was he still gives an excellent presentation.

They've been live streaming the iTunes festival too. I wonder if they are using this to test their streaming infrastructure ...

I'd watched some of that and was impressed they'd finally started trying to exploit the Apple TV for something. Maybe Apple will be moving towards additional streaming content, which is a good thing.

So i have chrome on win 8, can i stream? should i even bother to install quicktime? i don't have it yet, but if it will stream, i will download it for sure.

based on the copy, It looks like Apple is locking Windows users out? I don't see why a Quicktime on Windows wouldn't work though...

EDIT: Based on other replies in the thread, it doesn't look like they're doing that.

The last stream I had to install QuickTime, though I believe VLC can play it by opening the source URL (check the HTML).

Where do i find the url? The page's html has only one url that looks like a video/stream but it is 404.
