Like a stranger in a strange land. Never looked back.

It’s good to see that, moving forward, Apple is going to focus on the international audience. Always felt this was a conspicuous weakness in their marketing campaign.

I have been to four different Apple Stores in the past three years and in each one I have found the personnel to be at best rude and at worst hostile to anyone over the age of 30.

As someone who has pretty much every Apple product currently on sale, and my own Apple Tattoo (seriously!), I’ve been itching for a proper Apple branded television for years, I think it’s not a matter of if, but when, so I hope your prediction proves true.

So I bet you that 2012 will be the year of Apple Television. TV won’t look the same after that. And we’ll find out that the “hobby” has in fact been a “test.

It reminds me of some of the message board postings from when the first iPod was released. People said it was never going to take off.
