Apple TV

Pulled before it premiered and Apple won't say why.

It sounds very much like there was stuff in it that Apple is afraid people would find offensive.

Apple is going to really suck at creating content if they're worried about hurting people's feelings.

I honestly don't know why Apple is even bothering with this effort. It makes no sense.

Because like other tech corporations they want to take over the world.

I'm only half kidding.

Maybe they want to diversify their revenue streams? I remember they were working on a gaming system too, but apparently that went the way of the dodo.

But this is a shitty market to be in, with low margins and no future.

Maybe they just have money to burn?

It really doesn't make a lot of sense, but they do have enough cultists to fund it I guess.
