The big fall apple event has just wrapped up and while most of the stuff out of Cupertino isn’t related to The DMZ, Mr. Jobs did take time to announce the company’s second version of Apple TV.

You won’t be able to store anything on the device itself however you will …

This week we look at The Evil Dead on Blu-ray, talk about Universal’s efforts at developing a useful BD Live application and examine the expansion of the NFL’s Red Zone channel.
