Apple TV Update 3.0

Apple's Hobby the Apple TV got it's 3.0 software update.  And there are some new features.
The first thing that one notices is that the home screen is much more Apple.  Beautifully designed, but it may cause a little clipping at the edges of your screen especially if you like me are using an RGB converter, for an older Tube TVand not an LCD/Plasma/FST.
A picture of the Apple TV looms over the different categories, and when you move over each category the content of you Apple TV gets coverflow style displayed.
The new function is under the new category "Internet" and it's one of my favorite functions of iTunes,
Internet Radio.
This means that all your favorite Radio stations such as my personal favorite Indie 103, can be utilised direct from the Apple TV so there is no need anymore to have to switch your computer on.  And if you use the HDMI plug and not the RGB Audio plug.  Then you can plug it directly into your stereo, or surround sound set up.
All in all it's a excellent update and worth doing, and hopefully the next update will sort my Screen clipping problem.  The other reason that the update has taken place is that the new Album extra and in the US available Film extra's can be viewed.  To this point iTunes has also been updated to 9.0.2

Nothing British About the BNP

Andy McNabb Ex- SAS Soldier says exactly what I think and Feel.  As a Ex-British Army Soldier myself, and having Served in Kosovo in 1999 & 2002, and also as part of the Stabilization Troops in Bosnia in 1997.  I am myself 100% behind what he says and the "Nothing British" Campaign. http://www.youtube.com/user/NothingBritish

Marvel Online Comic creator App

As I was doing my usual Trawl of my RSS feeds I happned on to the Marvel Comic Creator app online.
(Thanks to Gizmodo) http://superherosquad.marvel.com/create_your_own_comic
It's an online app allowing you to creat either entire mini Comics or just one off strips.  All the tools you need are there, including Pre-Drawn characters, Backgrounds,  a couple of objects, Noises (BAM, Crack)
and of course Speach bubbles which you can edit. 
It's actually meant for kids, but it appeals to that kid inside, and of course I couldn't resist.
 

"ICE" Hockey Wonder Kid

I Love Hockey, "ICE" that is.  So Imagine my wonder as I saw this video of a Pee-wee (Kids League) 9 year old who quite literally has the moves.  I hope he keeps this up, I would like to see him Play NHL when he grows up.
