Suddenly, my Apple TV is able to play episodes on-demand (streaming) without requiring full downloads first. Not sure when this happened but now this previously near-useless device is finally useful and usable.
Waiting sux. Speed wins.
Considering hooking up my Twitter stream to post into Tumblr. Would this be Tumblr-noise?
