Apple may have given us an early Holiday gift by way of a spoiler regarding what may come to the Apple TV: apps! You can see for yourself by grabbing your Apple remote and navigating to Movies> Genres> Classics> Holiday Music, Movies, and More –though if you click on the link to ‘Apps and Games’, nothing is displayed or available for sale (though this strikes many observers as unusual, because if we are meant to wait for this new feature, why have a time-sensitive category at all right now?).

One of the first activities in the game involves buying some chickens which brings eggs to the party while getting you closer to owning pigs, sheep, horses or goats.
