Joost Break? Nah. I multi-task.

September 12th, 2007 by Nate Westheimer · 2 Comments

I just got this email from Joost (see screenshot below) asking me to take a Joost break.

Problem is: I don’t let my computer go full screen on anything. I multi-task. And when it comes to “lean back” viewing, I save that for my tv: my AppleTV (I just responded to a bunch of emails while catching up on Mad Men, which I bought from iTunes).

So Joost, get yourself on my AppleTV, and I’ll watch you all day, all night, all the time. It would be perfect. When YoutTube came to my AppleTV it made the device worth having. When Joost comes to AppleTV, it will be worth watching Joost.

    Maybe you should have just bought a mac mini

    True (I didn’t buy my AppleTV, though, I won it).

    The thing about the MacMini is that it’s a computer, not designed to pull stuff from multiple sources. I like that all my iTunes TV shows are on my laptop and that a bunch of movies are on my roommate’s computer and that we can easily — EASILY — stream them to the livingroom TV. With a MacMini you’d have to geek-out and use VLC or something like that.
