Back from a week of snowboarding in Špindlerův Mlýn, I bought an AppleTV. It was 2.0 out of the box, and thanks to the helpfull guide on ATV4Windows I hacked it already, enabling SSH, DivX & WMV support I also managed to create a US iTunes account, so I’m now able to rent movies&series.

Next step now is to have it download movies&series automagically. For that, I’ll use TorrentFlux-b4rt, a web-interface that manages basically all kinds of downloading (torrents/wget/news)!More to come…

Writing this via EDGE on Vodafone network. iPhone is fully unlocked by now.

After being in New York last week, this week I was in Palo Alto (next to San Francisco), visiting AlwaysOn 2007.

Went to the apple store and bought an iPhone (8GB version) today! Too bad I can’t use it in Europe to call with, however, with a little help from DVDJon I was able to unlock it, so now it’s a photo-ipod-wifi thingie

Maybe more pictures will follow, first unlocking a few more iPhone’s for some friends overhere.

PS: Installinging iPhone 1.0.1 software still works, but requires the “modified” iTunes version! Also, you need to modify iTunes 7.3.0.54 (which you can easily find online), newer versions don’t work (yet).

Some of my co-workers drive a specific car brand, and I must say I’m inclined to buy one myself.

However, during a business trip to Denmark last week, somebody told me about the Tesla Roadster. 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds (faster than a standard Porsche!), 130mph peak (fast enough) and looking very good (like the Lotus Elise, another car I’m looking into).

So, what’s the catch ? This sports car of your green dreams is a plug-in electric vehicle… Not a Hybrid, electricity all the way!

As they said on Top Gear: “I know that will have got a couple of groans from the audience. But bear with me here, as this isn’t like any of those horribly cynical early efforts. The ones produced by global car companies trying to deflect attention from their tree-flattening SUV money-makers. This one’s different. No, really, it is. “

I’m seriously considering this. I’m not an environmentalist at all, but this one looks nice, is (somewhat) affordable, and will be faster (for the first mile(s)) than these bloudy 911’s Too bad it has a waitinglist till next year, and only available in the US for now, however, there might be a way to get and import it… Let’s see what the RDW has to say on this.
