Bloomberg reports that Apple will be introducing a revamped Apple TV at tomorrow's media event, and that the new device will offer Netflix movie streaming. Netflix offers a subscription service allowing customers to receive DVDs and Blu-ray discs by mail while also accessing a library of streaming content through an increasing array of compatible devices such as TiVos, DVD players, and gaming consoles. Netflix currently offers free applications for other iOS devices to allow subscribers to access streaming content on the go.
Apple Inc., preparing to announce a new set-top box that delivers TV to consumers, will include movies from Netflix Inc., according to three people with knowledge of the plans.
The streaming service would be available on the revamped version of Apple TV, due to be introduced tomorrow in San Francisco, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans havent been made public. Users would pay a subscription fee to Netflix for the service, the people said.
According to the report, the revamped Apple TV will carry the $99 price tag that has been rumored for some time.
In addition to the Apple TV, Bloomberg's sources claim that Apple tomorrow will introduce updated iTunes functionality, as well as a new iPod touch with higher-resolution display, presumably matching the iPhone 4's Retina display.

Slumdog Millionaire
Last Updated on Monday, 17 May 2010 13:49 Written by Philip Sunday, 21 March 2010 11:54
“Slumdog Millionaire” was the big winner at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. The rags-to-riches saga of the Mumbai slums picked up a total of eight Oscars, including best director for Danny Boyle and best picture. Going into the evening, the film seemed an absolute shoo-in, having picked up numerous critic and industry awards. Sunday night, it started winning early and didn’t stop, but alas, the predictable nature of it all made for a listless evening.
The Reader

The film’s producers wheeled out Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel to combat a growing campaign in Hollywood designed to deny Ms Winslet her first golden statuette as best actress. As The Sunday Telegraph revealed in mid February, a covert campaign to rubbish the film began after prominent experts on Nazi Germany denounced the film for portraying Ms Winslet’s character, an illiterate and unrepentant concentration camp guard, as too sympathetic. Ron Rosenbaum, author of the book Explaining Hitler, branded The Reader the worst Holocaust movie in history and complained that it falsely implies that Germans were ignorant of Hitler’s genocide. Mark Weitzman, the New York head of the Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Centre, said The Reader was guilty of “Holocaust revisionism”. Then on Friday, The Reader’s British director and screenwriter, Stephen Daldry and David Hare, joined forces with producers Harvey Weinstein and Donna Gigliotti, issuing a statement condemning the “mudslinging” against their movie.
The team spread word of Mr Wiesel’s support for The Reader before Oscar voting closed on Tuesday night.
