"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Does anyone have any of these, or know much about them? I can't decide which one to go with. Based on the information I have found, there seems to be some big pros and cons to each of them. So, I would like to hear of any personal experiences with them.

I do have an iPhone, which is making me lean towards AppleTV, since I can stream anything from my phone onto the TV. It just seems that Roku is a lot more flexible otherwise.

Thoughts?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Define what you want. Do you want TV? Do you want internet TV? Do you want to watch HD movies?

What are your needs first of all, and then you figure out which product and service best meets that.

Well, my last roommate had a wi-fi ready TV that had Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube apps on it. I decided to go for a nicer TV that was a little cheaper because it was not wi-fi ready, but now I would like to go with something external to use those same features.

Now that I have looked into them a little bit more, I am seeing there are additional options to consider (i.e. mirroring your iPhone to the AppleTV). I know AppleTV does not have Pandora, where Roku does, but can I simply play Pandora on my iPhone and have it come through on the AppleTV?

I have cable, so I'm not necessarily looking for straight cable from this device. I think considering my needs, any of the options would be sufficient. I am just curious if anyone here has any experiences with them to give some personal recommendations.
