Apple TV Under The Hood
Looking at an OS dump doesn’t always translate to the final live interaction and exploration experience but it does offer tantalizing hints as to what is to come and what will be possible for those willing to start programming and hacking. In this case, Apple TV’s sneak peak provides two promises. First, that the system itself will be somewhat customizable and programmable for people who wish to extend its use beyond the built-in features. Second, that we’re looking at the future of OS X installs. Apple TV’s iOS shows that non-mobile devices without touch screens can leverage iOS’s newer, more modern frameworks without sacrificing general computability.
10.7 can’t be announced soon enough.
Meet Cloudette, A Free CloudApp Client for iPhone
Together with Dropbox, CloudApp is another tool I couldn’t work without anymore. Originally developed as Mac-only sharing utility by the Linebreak guys, CloudApp eventually evolved to have a full-featured web interface and an API for developers to plug into and create unofficial clients. Thanks to this integration with 3rd party applications, some great pieces of software like Courier for Mac, Weet and Prizmo for iPhone gained CloudApp uploading capabilities. Not to mention Cloud2Go, the first unofficial (and paid) CloudApp client for iPhone.
Cloudette is a new CloudApp client for iPhone (and soon iPad) which lets you check on your files, and upload new ones. For free. Read more

GrabBox is a Mac app that lets you easily upload screenshots to your Dropbox Public folder and share the link with your friends. Read more

Fox News Reviews The Apple TV
So here’s how it works. Let’s say I’m out watching an episode of Star Trek on my iPad. When I walk in my front door I can continue watching that same episode on my ginormous HDTV with the flick of a finger, and vice versa. How handy is that?
Apple told me the company has opened this feature to third-party developers, and that’s where my imagination runs wild. Think of the possibilities! Imagine the apps you could be flicking back and forth across all of your iDevices: NPR, Netflix, YouTube, MLB, Hulu, Internet Radio, Pandora, the list goes on. AirPlay could be the most important Apple announcement in years.
Here’s to hoping for a great Apple TV commercial featuring AirPlay.
Found Footage: iPad Street Musician
Of all the things one could ever do with an iPad, this girl thought being an Apple-powered street musician could turn out to be a good idea. So she went out there, turn her iPad on and started playing the hell out of a sitar in Seline HD.
