Last week I went on a vacation to Iceland. Fantastic country full of fantastic and beautiful people!

For the past couple of years now, when talking about the Apple TV product, Apple likes to throw out the word "hobby." It's as if they're ashamed of the device. And considering sales are anemic next to Macs, iPods, and iPhones, it's no big surprise that they talk this way.
