Today I hooked up a laptop to my TV, hoping I could use my NetFlix account and the "view instantly" feature to watch some movies on the 50" tube. For some reason, though, my XP machine was outputting everything except Windows Media Player stuff to the screen. No idea why.

Thinking it was just video as a whole that was hosed, I hit YouTube and checked their flash videos...they played just fine.

So I'm hoping when I get the Mac, sooner than later I hope, that the Mac's built-in video (Quicktime) will allow NetFlix video output to the big screen. We'll see....

As we get closer and closer to next week's Apple event, I'm still hoping the new notebooks will be coming out, but alot of what I have read lately says they probably wont...but new iPods will be revealed... I guess we'll know a week or so from now...
