Well, I went to order one of those Bottle Top Tripods, but the shipping fee is outrageous. There are two options: $10 and $30. That is a little steep for such a small item as this.

@walt – I agree. Apple has no responsibility to support the hack, but the hack makes Apple TV better!

Boxee just approved me today. Cali, does it work with the update yet?

I’m very pleased to see criticism of apple where it’s due ( and any company for that matter) . Loving a company or their product is fine, but following it blindly and accepting everything they throw at you whether it be good or bad is ludicrous, especially these days.

I was pretty disappointed with your comments regarding the Apple TV software update and Boxee.

I’m not aware of any evidence that Apple intentionally disabled Boxee, and I do not think that Apple has any obligation whatsoever to research Boxee’s installation methods and figure out how to not break them accidentally.

Do I think that Boxee’s features are wonderful – sure!

Do I think Apple has any responsibility to some third party hack on their product – no way.

Cali,
I am unable to watch GeekBrief podcasts on my Apple TV 2.3. A sad day.

Cali,
When do we get to see your Rovio in action (or interaction) with your dogs?

Also, not to be picky, but I think that neodymium is pronounced nee-oh-deem-ee-um. (It is the same type of magnet that controls the read/write heads in a computer’s hard drive.)
