Brandon Holland has just released Couch Surfer 0.3.
Here are some new features:
The best part is that once Couch Surfer 0.3 is installed, USB keyboard feature is available to all other plug-in’s.
You can get the new software update from Brian’s software page here.
Silicon Alley Insider is reporting that Disney CEO Robert Iger announced today at the Digital Hollywood Media Summit that the company has sold 4 million movies on iTunes since the movie store launched in 2006, along with 40-50 million videos.
The site extrapolates that the total revenue from these sales is just under $123 million USD. Disney recently announced a $1 billion digital sales goal for 2008, which includes revenue from advertising online (i.e. ad revenue from online video viewing or from any of its sites), subscriptions to online games, downloads of movies and music, and e-commerce that is not related to its theme parks.
For perspective, Disney had sold 1.3 million movies by February 2007 after 3 months of the iTunes movie store being in operation.
There seems to be a lot of chit chat about a new Mac Mini coming.
People are suggesting it will be half the size of the current Mac Mini size, possibly have a tv tuner, and be more targeted toward the home-cinema crowd.

Since updating to ATV 2.0 and re-hacking (see, ATVfiles and NitoTV). I’ve been having a few minor issues.
The biggest issue at the moment is sometimes when using ATVfiles to navigate and play my movies, I loose the sound. A reboot of the ATV is required to get the sound working again. Strange!
If anyone has experienced something like this, let me know. In the meantime I guess I’ll go check the wiki over at http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/
