Nice to see the crossover happening.

I think Dave Winers long bet due in 2007 is pretty safe!

"My bet with Martin Nisenholtz at the Times says that the tide has turned, and in five years, the publishing world will have changed so thoroughly that informed people will look to amateurs they trust for the information they want." Dave Winer

New Elgato Episode Hits the Airwaves

• Want to watch and record TV on your mac?
• Want to use a "Front Row" intergrated interface to access your TV guide and recordings?
• Want to use your Apple remote to control Live TV and recordings?
• Want to edit your TV recordings to remove ad breaks?
• Want to make DVDs and VideoCDs of your TV recordings?
• Want to convert and copy your TV programs to your iPod automatically?

This screencast shows you how to do all this by utilising the amazing new EyeTV 2 software from Elgato Systems. In the show I also demonstrate the new EyeTV for DTT device just launched by Elgato in Europe. It's basically a Freeview tuner that's the size of a memory stick and plugs straight into your USB2.0 port, turning your mac into a powerful PVR. Even better is that we're giving one away as a competition prize (kindly donated by Elgato Systems)

The new screencast on the Elgato EyeTV2  software has just been published. Quite a challenge with all the full screen stuff and Live TV I had to capture but I think it works! Anyone fancy digging this ;-)

Good Timing

July 25, 2006 - Intel will officially launch its Core 2 Duo processors jointly on Thursday. Conroe, for desktops, and Merom, for laptops, are 64-bit processors that are both expected to find their way into future Mac systems.

Think Secret - Intel Core 2 Duo chips launch Thursday; Eight-core Xeon systems this year

And I make that 11 days before the WWDC - go figure!

However, I do fear my shiny new macbook pro is soon to be eclipsed with a new macbook pro with a Merom chip. Ah well!
