Apple TV 3 is one of the best and most popular television gadgets in the industry today. It allows people to watch photos and movies on any channel. Like any Apple gadgets, one can download apps to it. There are a lot of applications one can install to his ATV 3. One of these apps is called Airplay. According to Mike and Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Experts, this app allows one to stream movies, photos and audio to any digital media wirelessly. So one can view a any file or media content retrieved from his iPhone or iPad and display it to one's HDTV. This allows one to stream videos around one's house.

An Apple TV 3 Jailbreak offers the owners many new possibilities. Some might even say that the ATV jailbreak completely changes it into a unique and more user-friendly hardware. Indeed, a jailbroken Apple TV 3 allows the owners to access features that were otherwise unavailable, including a complete conversion of the hardware into a full-fledged media player, into a PC alternative with its browser, and a complete back up by the cloud services. Other benefits include access to a larger number of video channels (YouTube, Hulu, Netflix) as well as the ability to install apps that aren't available in the Apple store, which greatly increases its functionality, says Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Experts.

Unlike the popular belief, jail-breaking an Apple TV offers much more than the access to pirated and free content. Firstly, and this is one of the most important features, the jail-break allows the AppleTV to be used as a browser. Indeed, once it is jail-broken, a browser can be installed on the ATV, allowing the owner to access different websites. Secondly, while people can use Air-Play through their iPhone to stream more content, the quality of the image is also normally reduced. Moreover, the streaming sources are quite restricted compared to the possibilities that can be unlocked through the use of a jail-break, including a TV channel like ESPN or streaming websites like 1channel.

Submission + - White House Petition: Help us to keep religion outside school, sign! (whitehouse.gov)

mZHg writes: There is a petition on whitehouse.gov which need Slashdot community support.

Since Darwin's groundbreaking theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, scientists all around the world have found monumental amounts of evidence in favor of the theory, now treated as scientific fact by 99.9% of all scientists.

However, even after 150 years after the establishment of evolution, some schools across the US are "teaching the controversy," including Creationism and Intelligent Design. Both of these so-called "theories" have no basis in scientific fact, and have absolutely zero evidence pointing towards these conjectures. These types of loopholes in our education are partially to blame for our dangerously low student performances in math and science.

Therefore, we petition the Obama Adminstration to ban the teachings of these conjectures that contradict Evolution.

Submission + - Huge Headhunting Firm Steals Blogger's Job Concept (aroundtheworldin80jobs.com)

that {his} entire brand, image and web personality was swiped for use in a marketing campaign by some massive multi-billion dollar a year company, without ever being asked for permission or acknowledged. The video for their marketing campaign was particularly creepy for {him}, as even {his} age and personality didn’t escape the level of detail spent on creating this doppelganger (they used a paid actor of course).

But Wise's best advice to customers is to encrypt their data: 'If the data is encrypted, all we'd be handing over would be the cypher text,' he said.

Submission + - Thrown off Adsense, and he's not sure why (duckworksmagazine.com)

rhyder128k writes: Dylan Winter, freelance writer, broadcaster and film maker, has built a business around making high quality, niche films on the subjects of sailing and trucking. He gives an outline of how much money he makes, who his customers are and how, by working with organizations such as Adsense, Yahoo and Amazon, he was able to turn his creative endeavors into an income. He was a walking, talking (and filming) example of how creatives, trained in traditional media production can profitably re-orientate themselves towards engagement with the Internet age.

However, things went wrong when he awoke one morning to discover that he had been thrown off Adsense. The moral: if you're thinking of building a business that relies on Adsense, bear in mind that they have a user contract that allows them to throw you off the service on a whim. Maybe the user experience would improve if Google had a bit more competition in this area?

I found myself at odds between the tests. the first one indicates that I have the same focus as a low multitasker (or single tasker type)
and that the second reveals that I have the same inability to switch tasks rapidly in much the same way a high multitasker would have.
What does this make me, I wonder?"

Submission + - Kahn Academy Delivers 70,000 Lectures Daily (physorg.com)

eldavojohn writes: Over fifteen hundred mini-lectures have made available by Salman Khan to educate the world right from the comfort of his own home. Kahn Academy amounts to little more than a YouTube channel and one very very devoted man trying to provide education the way he wanted it. With 70,000 video views a day, the man is definitely making a measurable difference for many students young and old. In his FAQ he explains how he knows he is being effective. What will probably ensure his popularity (and provide a legacy surpassing that of the highest paid educators) is that everything is licensed under Creative Commons 3.0 and his only requirements are his time, a $200 Camtasia Recorder, an $80 Wacom Bamboo Tablet and a free copy of SmoothDraw3. While it may not be Feynman quality lecturing, it's a great augmenting resource for learners who can clench their fists and thank KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHN!
