Logic Pro X (no Ardour doesn't cut it, sorry. I even subscribed for a while).
Xcode (for iPhone/iPad development. KDevelop and Geany or Nemiver, CodeBlocks etc. isn't going to cut it, sorry).
Ability to AirPlay to my AppleTV 3rd gen. Does anyone know anything I can easily broadcast to from a video inside a web page? On Safari or Quicktime I just have to click the airplay icon.
For reference, I write C++ for my dayjob and for fun (who doesn't??)
You can 'cast' you whole desktop of a specific chrome tab. Youtube videos and many streaming sites can cast directly to your TV.
I currently use the VideoStream[0] extension to play local videos on my TV, but soon VLC should be able to do this. (It supposedly works in the beta releases, but it doesn't for me YMMV)
Plex can cast directly to your TV.

For iPhone development I'm sure you need a mac, but if you want an IDE, look no further than IDEA. It's much better than Xcode in general, and does have a C++ plugin. (Of course.)

Chromecast.
I'm wondering, can one use a VM?
However, there's no way to do it legally. It violates the Apple EULA. If you ever get in trouble and take it to court, Apple will probably win: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psystar_Corporation
And I say this having used Linux from 2.0.n (RedHat 5.2 - no, not RHEL, proper RedHat when KDE1 and GNOME1 were new and LinuxConf was still a tool that existed) branch for years and years until ~4 years ago when I got tired of reinstalling Fedora every other release. I'm not here just to bash Linux for fun - I was stating the issue.
Chromecast is really cheap and works like a charm. I can mirror my desktop or web browser tabs.
Chromecast would fit your needs, maybe?
