Apple must wake up as its front room media solution-cum-hobby, Apple TV is under attack
Microsoft has announced a new deal with Netflix under which the latter service will offer Xbox LIVE users who are also members of Netflix Gold free access to over 10,000 films and a multitude of TV shows - all directly through the Xbox.
