Use your iPod as a MythTV Remote0

Kyle over at Legatissimo.info wrote his own Python-based web script specifically for the iphone. Pictures and a movie can be seen at his blog, and I’ve embedded the movie below. The first user comment says that the script works on a Nokia 770 as well. Neat stuff. And no, I have no idea how to center align that damn movie.

Oh yeah, I’ll wear this0

Apple TV has been hacked in two hours0

The folks at SomethingAwful.com were able to hack the Apple TV to play Xvid content in under two hours. It now turns out that the Apple TV is running what appears to be an almost full-fledged version of OS X 10.4.7.

This thing has a Pentium M 1GHZ with 2MB cache, 256MB RAM, and a Geforce Go 7300 video card. I don’t see any reason not to port XBMC to this device, and fast. Could this be the end for XBMC on the Xbox?
