Wow. I just read on TUAW this story about a store reporting that apple told them to distroy all their old apple tv displays and stuff by Tuesday.
Now I love my Apple TV, its awsome. I have all of my dvds ripped and on there for me to watch without getting my ass off the couch.
Imagine what Apple could do with this. They could incorporate a blue ray player into it, set it up for netflix streaming, or even as a AT&T Uverse box.
It could be anything, and i can only hope for the best. Via [TUAW]

Oh iPhone how I love thee, let me count the ways

I’ve had my sigg water bottle to. About a year now. I take it with me everywhere. It’s the best water bottle I have ever owned. It holds a liter which doesn’t last me very long (since i guzzle so much water) bit the average shmoe it should last a long time.
Mine is all dented and bruised but i love it. They are made of aluminum and so are very light and they have a lining inside that doesnt break or disolve.


You can grab one at MySigg

The Renetto canopy chair is the best thing I picks up at the LA county fair this year. This chair is my idea of the perfect outdoor chair. It’s large, sturdy, two cup holders, and a magical canopy to shade you from the sun. There are pockets in the underneath of the canopy for your stuff. I got the add on foot rest so I can sleep in it. The whole thing folds up and clips together and has backpack straps for carrying it around. When folded up there are two small pockets for putting stuff in.
The cons are that I wish it was a little bigger and I wish the cup holders were bigger and a tablle would make it heaven.

There is large debates floating around about whether or not the pwnage tool is necessary.

Until Apple make the application approval process better and more defined and stop unnecessary restrictions on applications, the pwnage will need to continue.

There are three applications currently on Cydia that I deem indispensable to my day to day on my iPhone.

1. Intelliscreen: this program is an absolute necessity on the iPhone.  So much that I’m surprised Apple didn’t include something like it. On you lock screen it shows a snippet of you calendar, email, sms, weather, sports and news. You can configure it any way you want.
2. Mcleaner: I don’t answer calls if the number is not in my address book.  This little puppy of a software automates that for me so i don’t get the annoyance. It is fully configurable and will filter out anything you don’t want to see.
3. Boss Prefs: This is one of the handiest iPhone programs allowing me to easilly turn on or off wifi, 3g or edge (along with any mail account, ssh access and anything i configure). Much easier than having to flip through three screens to get to the preferences to do it.

There are a couple others that i love but these three are something that the iphone needs to have and cannot be in the appstore because of the restrictions of not having background programs running.
