Another Apple TV Composite Video Hack

Just started using my Apple TV again after months of it sitting in a drawer. I read over at Appletvhacks.net on how to get color display from composite video out on a non-HD display, but stumbled on a slightly different solution while doing this. From the Appletvhacks.net site, their solution says:

iPod Touch = iPod LOVE
You may be surprised to see another post about a new iPod after my recent post on the iPod Classic 160GB I picked up a few weeks ago. Even though my teenage daughter told me not to get one (strange as it may sound), I picked up an iPod touch. I must say, I'm in love anew with Apple's latest iPod.
From the thin, sleek iPhone-like profile to the gorgeous, scratch resistant 3.5" screen (check out the link below) to the ultra cool multi-touch interface, there's a lot of touch to love. Read more on iPod Touch = iPod LOVE…

SkyCaddie SG4 – Ultimate Golf Geekery
Back in the 17th century, golfers used to smack wooden balls around rough golf courses, walking every step of the way, lugging their crude bamboo clubs from hole to hole in full Sunday dress, and took your best guess as to how far you needed to hit the darn thing. We've come a long way baby.

iPod Classic 160GB – My Life Drive
I'll skip all of the usual stuff about how great the iPod is, how well it does music, etc. Here's why I bought the new iPod Classic 160GB: consolidation.
I loved the idea of Palm's LifeDrive. Carry all your important electronic "stuff" with you at all times. The biggest problem was the storage limit. The iPod Classic 160GB breaks that barrier, giving you plenty of storage capacity in the form of a device you're probably already carrying. Read more on iPod Classic 160GB – My Life Drive…

Update: Read updated progress reports here.
On Friday, February 2 I read an article linked from Lifehacker about how Kyle Pott had lost 50 pounds in 3 months using some unconventional weight loss methods.

iPhone! What, no iChat?
Apple thrilled many a fan waiting with baited breath when they released the iPhone Tuesday at Macworld, and indeed, we'll be in line to snag a couple ourselves when they come out in Jun. However, one major component was missing from this new device — iChat. Steve proclaimed the iPhone is 3 devices in one: widescreen ipod, mobile phone, and internet communicator, and although the new device has EDGE and WiFi connectivity, and includes email, web and sms…one key app they left out is the obvious iChat from Apples own internet suite.
