I’m pretty sure the iMac Touch rumor is one of the best ones we’ve had to deal recently: Digitimes has played the most important role in this story, reporting about the iMac Touch in January thus starting an all-new rumor chain that extended to websites such as LoopRumors. Then, about a month ago, Patently Apple discovered an actual patent for an iMac computer capable of shifting from a classic desktop configuration to a touch-based, iOS-like interface. Read more
The Apple TV Is Jailbroken, But Not Ready For Apps Yet
Well as usual, that didn’t take long. The header says it all, folks: late last night Musclenerd confirmed that the Apple TV is, indeed, already jailbroken, but they have to figure out how to run apps on it.
The video embedded below shows root access through the SHAtter exploit, and now we just have to wait for the Dev-Team to come up with some solution to install Cydia and run unapproved software on the new device. Personally, I’m back to looking for a way to buy one in Italy.

What’s better than Big Bang Theory, Apple II file system jokes and Steve Wozniak to end just another boring work day? I’m telling you: nothing. No, not even that unreleased 11-inch MacBook Air polished with unicorn tears you got from some creepy Chinese dude can beat this.

Since nobody seems to care about the lack of a decent blogging app for iPad, I decided to come out with my own post about it. I’ve been thinking about this for months now (since April, the day after I got my iPad), and while I thought I could maybe find the time to look for an iOS developer and start my own “team of two” to develop the app, I just don’t want to wait anymore. So developers, here’s what I - and hundreds of other bloggers using an iPad - need. Read more

Free Your Mac’s Media Keys from iTunes
The tricks we used before were far less than ideal, requiring you to start up Quicktime in the background, or do some serious hacking to system files within iTunes.app. NoMitsu has created a one-click installer that patches the remote control daemon, the app responsible for managing the media keys.

I installed this and it works perfectly.
