iTunes Store & Apple TV is coming to TOWN, Part 2



With Apple iTunes Store available for Malaysia, we can now enjoy the fullness of Apple TV, which was make available the same day at iTunes Store. There is a reason why iTunes and Apple TV was launched at the same day and I will explain later. Anyway, back to the Apple TV, to describe the device, I would use words like small, powerful and efficient. Apple TV might seem to be on the down side if compare to other media player available in the market, I will explain why as well, but no doubt that Apple TV deliver the best of Apple experience and quality.


What is good about Apple TV

Apple TV is the world most beautiful media player, IMHO. Apple TV play 1080p video and stream multimedia content, music, movie and photo. Just like what the typical media player able to offer. Apple TV is at it best at iTunes content streaming. it deliver a true plug and play experience, and the easiest media player to setup.


Apple TV is able to purchases/rent and stream Movie and TV Drama from iTunes store. With a few click, your favorite iTunes movie is stream to your big and beautiful screen.

AirPlay, another feature Apple TV had to offer. With Apple TV AirPlay support, we are able to mirror or stream content from our iOS device direct to TV, and at 1080p resolution (with supported apps). I definitely would enjoy playing Infinite Blade on my big TV screen.


What is not so good about Apple TV

I did mention Apple TV is at it best at iTunes content and actually Apple TV can  only do iTunes content. You would not be able to stream your divx or RMVB movie. Even there is apps that support the playback and AirPlay and yet you are not allow to stream the content via Apple TV.


The is limited online channel, very limited, you can only enjoy YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, Radio, MLB.TV and WSJ live. Which I think I might able to live with that.

There is no hard drive present in the device to allow you to store you content, every thing is streamed over internet or local network with your PC and iTunes on. You need a fast and reliable internet for online streaming and to enjoy your iTunes Movie.

To wrap up, what would encourage me to get the Apple TV would be the AirPlay feature Apple TV is offering and it's a beautiful device to put together beside my beautiful HD TV :D. Apple TV is selling at RM349 at Apple Online Store. For more info on Apple TV, please drop by http://www.apple.com/asia/appletv/what-is/ or any Apple authorize Store for some hand on.

Sabuti, A Burmese Traditional Food

I came across this stall at the restaurant opposite Pudu Plaza. A typical Chinese restourant selling typical Malaysian food, watan mee, porridge, pan mee, and etc. Then something caught me, some Burmese selling something call Sabuti. From far it look like porridge. When I get a closer look at it, it is soup, like the Indian ox tail or chicken soup. My curiosity tell me to try it. I sit down and order 1 portion. They serve with salt and MSG. An extra RM 1 you will get the fried beef with chili and onion, I warm you...is super hot..at least for my standard. After my first sip and I know why they serve the salt and MSG. The soup is plain, pretty plain in taste. One might enjoy it but not me. I prefer my soup to be a bit "spice". I added the salt and MSG and the soup taste better. Please note this is not a healthy way of eating soup. Don't try it too often :D The ingredient inside the soup, beef and corn. Simple but filling and I can understand why the soup i...

They suddenly felt that they don't belong to the zoo, they really belong to the their new family at the circus. The circus is the place where...
