Guys…if you have a Mac, a large flat screen HDTV and a lot of photos…believe me the streaming/slide show with some internet jazz playing in the background is worth the price of admission.
I don’t even edit photos anymore…I just delete the bad ones and put all the rest of them over to AppleTV. When I invite friends or family over for dinner they just love to see photos of themselves.
It’s so elegant. Typical Apple!
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t invite them over to watch a boring old slide show like years gone by. I just have it on sort of in the background and it’s like a fireplace or aquarium.
I put it on in the evenings and my GF loves it. We view our photos more this way than if they were on the computer or certainly in an album or shoebox!
I mean it guys, your GF’s, wives (or both) will think you are a genius.
I have not shown it to anyone that has not been extremely impressed by it!
I know TV speakers aren’t the best…but they are ok for ambient music…with AppleTV, I got rid of all my stereo equipment and speakers. No wires, power bricks. This and in the car or running is the only way I listen to music anymore.
