Apple has recently updated their Apple TV to version 3.0.2. This new update is related to the release of Aperture 3.0, which made changes to how that software shares images over the local network and adds support for iPhoto’s Places and Faces features. The new Apple TV Version 3.0.2 can be downloaded and installed from the Update Software option within the Settings/General menu on Apple TV. [Apple Insider]
Still waiting for Apple’s next Macbook coming Tuesday? Well get this, Jason Calacanis, in an interview with CNET UK claims that a little birdie told him that Apple is working on a networked LCD HDTV with built-in Apple TV. Why Apple would jump into the HDTV market is strangely mysterious, but what’s interesting is the promise of an HDTV natively capable of streaming music and videos from your network. Still, a very stimulating rumor and another expensive gadget to add to your to-buy list. [MacBlogz]

If you thought getting DVD’s and Blu-ray discs in the mail was convenient, the new $229 Apple TV Take 2 will show you a whole new level of convenience and laziness. You can watch YouTube, podcasts, listen to iTunes, watch HD movies and shows, view photos in high resolution, link to your computer to share files, and probably cure cancer with this new device…You don’t need a computer to run this, it’s free- standing and ass-kicking. Netflix must be shaking in their boots.
