Apple TV on your Mac!!!

Apple TV on Mac

Ever wanted to run Apple TV on your Macintosh?
ATV4mac 1.4.3 lets you do just that–with a few limitations. It’s a Tiger-only, Intel-only release. You’ll need OS X 10.4.8 and higher and Leopard is a no-go at this time.

With it, you can run Apple TV take 2 as a Front-Row style Macintosh application, which can be a very nice thing if you plan on using a spare mac mini as an Apple TV replacement. Your mileage, as they say, will vary.

I can’t wait to try it!

what time is it Mr. Roboto?

Vintage Tin Robot Concept Watch

The Vintage Tin Robot Concept Watch is a joy to behold, featuring user-friendly functions despite looking more complicated than taking a car apart and putting it back together again. The left eye is the hour register, while the right eye features GMT indication. As for the nose region joint with the mouth region, you get seconds and retrograde minutes placements respectively. The Mr. Roboto watch is powered by automatic winding movement, boasting 25 jewels to get your bling factor up whenever you enter a swanky venue. You will be able to pick up the Mr. Roboto watch this September as long as you have at least $4,800 lying in your bank account.

Mobile Phone or iPod dropped in Water? Rice to the Rescue!

Dropped your Mobile Phone or iPod in Water? Rush to the Kitchen

What is the next step that you would take if your expensive mobile phone or iPod gets wet in the rain or your drop it in a wash basin?

Such accidents are not very uncommon. Adam Curry once dropped his iPhone in the toilet. Venadium went for a swim while the iPod was still in his pocket. Leo Laporte did something similar to his cell phone. Virgo soaked his iPod when a bottle of Diet Coke fell over his trousers.

Since the warranty for most electronics does not cover water damage, what can you do to revive that wet gadget ? The answer is in your kitchen.

Power off the device (if it’s not off already) and try to completely cover the iPod or iPhone in a bowl of rice. Rice being a natural desiccant will help absorb the excess moisture. Let it try for at least 24 hours and DO NOT try to charge the device.

If your gadget has a removable battery, dry it separately to speed up the whole drying process.

This home-remedy is cheap and worth giving a try before you rush to the Apple store for a replacement.

Ernesto Londoño successfully managed to fix his wet BlackBerry phone after he left the device soaked overnight in a bowl of uncooked rice.
