One of the first times I’ve hated on an Apple product but this one is a no brainer.  @Boxee’s UX is miles ahead of Apple TV and Boxee’s strategy is both more disruptive and more likely to be embraced by the media companies (eventually).  Frankly, I’m sort of shocked Apple hasn’t followed Boxee’s lead on this (or tried to acquire them).

Scoble named Boxee as one of his top 10 hot companies to watch in 2010. Here’s to hoping Boxee (and maybe Apple too) can finally break the cable companies death grip on the television experience. We all want to watch the content we like when we want to watch it, and we want an operating system that does more then just suffer lag time issues and offer minimal accounts of the programming.  We also want a set top box that is smaller then a 1980’s era desktop computer and a user interface that is stylish and modern.  If the Cable companies were out there pushing the envelope on innovation I wouldn’t be so hostile toward them.  But when year after year goes by with the same nonsense (channel bundling that I don’t care about and/or is not even in my language, very poor software experience, minimal feature set, exhorbitant prices, etc.) I don’t really have much sympathy for them. Boxee has the most opportunity to disrupt the cable companies and finally break their strangle hold on all this.  Go Boxee!
