    OT but about Apple's success in general ... I wonder if Apple could have AAPL share gift cards in their Apple Stores. We bought our grandchildren AAPL for gifts when they were born. Now worth $35,000! I realize you need brokerage accounts to sell shares, which is why I said gift cards, these would be an intermediate step that would be used to pay for the shares through a participating brokerage. You can buy a fraction of an AAPL share so they could be fixed amount gift cards such as $100 and $50.

    Might be cool to have a different guest from the forums each week also. Someone selected by popular vote, perhaps? I'd vote for SolipsismY, Melgross, Marvin and DickApplebaum for starters. ????

    How do you turn off Wi-Fi when you have an ethernet cable connected. When you connect an ethernet cable, Wi-Fi is disconnected by default. This was mentioned in the podcast that it's a dirty little secret.

    I liked the podcast. They talked about the ?TV and cable companies. I think it would be cool if the next ?TV, assuming it is still a box and not a stick, would include a pass through switch so you could have cable, WiFi, ethernet, and HD antenna all connected to it and use the Apple remote to switch among them as needed.
