Apple TV ~ The next chapter, 12/05 1

ATV2 Media_speakers20100901Last week, I [along with Apple support] resolved the issue [see my 12/02 comment] I was having with HomeSharing within iTunes for my Apple TV2. Since then, I have used my ATV2 with 2 of my audio/video systems. I am very pleased with the easy integration of multiple sound systems and the accompanying video display. So much so, that I have 2 more ATV2s on the way.

Actually, we will host a Super Bowl XLV Party, with a super after party, where I plan to integrate pictures of guest from earlier in the day, either from my PC or my flickr account and music to dance by, played from 3 sound systems in different parts of the house—true surround sound. An ATV2 is not a bad investment for what you get. I think its capability is just beginning. BTW, I can control it all from my iPhone using the Apple iTunes Remote App.

Just a technology update [geekness] from Jim. Hey, This is fun and exciting for me.

AR.Drone ~ GUESS WHAT??? Another Augmented Reality Game… 1

dronecontrol Game…and maybe by Christmas. This one from the developer of Drone Control, Tommy Kammerer [ARTommy]. This may be the first 3rd party single player game for the AR.Drone from Parrot [who currently has AR.Pursuit for sale]. I’ll bet you want more…
 

Tommy has a few screenshots up on his site and a teaser YouTube video. Looks like we get to see how a drone evades getting hit. Anyway, another AR.Drone App for the gaming set of drone owners—could be the perfect stocking stuffer.
