Thomas Hawk, a new Mac convert, has recently been praising all things Apple. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to see a level-headed assessment of Apple’s new media extender, Apple TV.

I agree with all of his points and then some. It was nice to see his tip of the hat towards Media Center and using the XBox 360 as an extender. He mentioned that he never really planned on using his 360 as a game console but found some game joy none the less, which helps debunk the myth that the XBox is only for the “hardcore gamer”.
