Apple TV Take Two version Two-point-oh-point-Two

appletv1.jpgOn Saturday, I bought an Apple TV for my brother…perfect timing, apparently, because today Apple released a massive, feature-full, gloriously-great update to the media machine — Apple TV Take Two version 2.0.2.

What’s so special about it? … No idea.

No release notes. Not even the vague “this addresses issues with things” tag that typically accompanies Apple’s software updates. And my quick scroll-through revealed no particular enhancements or feature-additions. So, really, it’s not massive, or feature-full, or gloriously-great. It just is.

Probably a simple maintenance update. But hey, any update is a good update, right?

Install it by going to the Update Software option under General Settings on your Apple TV.

If I don't know what it does, I'm not updating. I know that in a short while, someone will figure out exactly what the update does. If the answer is nothing, then I have no need to update.

Come on Apple... we dig the Apple TV (at least I do) but give us some ideas what we are updating to. Something, anything.

I've never really understood the point in Apple TV? Someone care to explain...?

Aw, that would be really adorable if you were, say,
four years old.
