TV is MicroContent too
Marc Canter has a rant about the fact that the latest Apple does not contain a TV-tuner. Why should they put one in? That is so Web 0.2.
I do not know in the US, but in Europe (at least some places) we have got TV over the Internet. With a 8MB broadband connection you can watch all the regular French stations. And in the Netherlands there is a website called show_missed, where you can see all the shows that you might have missed.
So also TV is slowly turning into MicroContent and Apple might the right step by integrating that into iTunes. And with FrontRow you have the right interface. TV shows are MicroContent as well, so treat them as such. No need for a TV-tuner (nor a floppy)?
