Joshua Schnell over at Macgasm:
An interesting tweet by Michael Margolis, a former Apple TV engineer at Apple Inc., popped up in our Twitter feed this evening, and we thought it was worth passing on. According to Margolis, the new Apple TV UI was not only on the table at Apple years ago, but Steve Jobs alledgedly shot it down because he didn’t like it at the time.
(Here’s the tweet.)
This would certainly could explain why the original AppleTV basically ran Front Row. Very interesting.
