Before prod.ly I was always tweeting my opinions and sometimes a photo about something awesome I discovered. But those posts are drowning in the flood in very short time.
That's why I built prod.ly with a friend. So that our interaction with awesome things stay tied to the thing and remain discoverable by other people.
I disagree on the MacMini front. MacMini is the de facto server offering from Apple. Since they discontinued their actual server product many companies are stacking the relatively inexpensive MacMinis in their data centers.
So MacMinis will definitely not be converted to be running iOS 6. They will need to stay Mac machines.
If you read my article then you will know that my hypothesis is rather for an embedded iOS on-a-chip that TV makers can license and through that enable any TV with the AppleTV software.
Apple is only interested in selling products with a high margin, like 50% or more. TVs don't have that.
If there will be a TV with Apple tech in it then this will be because the TV manufacturer has licensed a chip with iOS on it that runs the AppleTV flavor of iOS.
Or can you imagine people carrying home a 50" AppleTV TV from an Apple Store? If you cannot sell it in an Apple Store then Apple won't do it because Apple needs people to experience their devices in an Apple Store to allow them to fall in love it them.
That's why I built prod.ly with a friend. So that our interaction with awesome things stay tied to the thing and remain discoverable by other people.
It's like a ProductHunt for the physical world.
