Joost, no match for SlingBox
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

If you listen to the hype coming from Joost you would think they are the first coming of TV on the internet, but the reality is that they are late and ill equipped for what end users want. Each time a new player enters the market we end up being let down by lack of selection or subpar video and this is no different with Joost. How is it that only Slingbox gets this right? After all, people already pay for satellite and cable, why would you settle for less with the content on the PC or Web?
AwkwardTV hacks the AppleTV
The folks over at AwkwardTV project have found a way to boot the Apple TV from an external USB drive attached to it, without opening the Apple TV case or removing the internal hard disk.As his video shows, Apple TV is booting a modified system off the external drive.
The AwkwardTV project is now looking to build a bootable image for USB drives based on the Open Source Darwin kernel which will allow mounting and editing the internal hard disk, so that the various hacks, such as enabling SSH, can be made without opening the case.
