Looks like apple finally got around to upgrading the Apple TV to support there new found LP format. And in addition to that left a bug in the system that will cause your content to randomly disappear.

But theres a fix if you have not done so already upgrade again to 3.0.1, Apple’s official method for accomplishing this (sent to me via email):

1. Reboot your Apple TV (unplug the power cord and plug it back in)
2. Select Settings > General from the main menu
3. Select Update Software
4. Select Download and Install

I’ve not had the time to thoroughly explore the new updates but what I have seen so far it appears to be a strictly visual update.

Looks like the AppleTV is getting some attention after being ignored during the Music event Apple just hosted. Apple has done away with the 40Gig AppleTV and slashed the price of the 160Gig Model to US$229. Perhaps they are clearing inventory in preparation for a new AppleTV? It seams lately all other Apple Products have been getting all the love maybe we can look forward to a revision of the AppleTV.

Whatever apple ends up doing one thing is for sure they need a Software update, even if its only to add support for the new iTunes LP format. It would be nice to be able to browse all that new content on my Big Screen.

I know of several people that don’t understand the AppleTV but I love mine, what are your thoughts on apples Media device?

Twitter has decided to greatly simplify its home age, offering you the option to Search twitter or sign up for a new account. And also shows the current trending topics as well as the trending topics over the past day and week.

So far I like the new change especially since I rarely visited the main page and instead navigated over to http://search .twitter.com. I generally visit the twitter search page before even checking Google for new things I’m looking up or researching. It seams like I can always find an expert discussing the subject on twitter. This change makes that much easier.
