Submission + - Glenn Beck's 912 Project - Taking America Back (youtube.com)

brad-x writes: "There's something to be said for a call to return to our book/witch burning roots. I for one think this is exactly what America needs — to become aware of its true opinions and beliefs, and not those forced on it by left-wing socialists in control of big media.

An excerpt:

Woman: [Shouts] "Burn the books!" [applause]
Man: "I don't think you were serious about that, were you?"
Woman: "I am too."
Man: "Burn all the books?!"
Woman: "The ones in college, those, those brainwashing books."
Man: "[laughs] Brainwashing books?"
Woman: "Yes."
Man: "Which ones are those?"
Woman: "Like, the evolution crap, and, yeah..."

In seriousness, this is a rather stunning look at the true grass-roots opinions of the average American as expressed in a political gathering. What's next?"

Submission + - Replacing Exchange - With Kerio MailServer (brad-x.com)

brad-x writes: "Kerio MailServer, like Zimbra, has until only recently been an 'almost but not quite' Exchange alternative. It has offered Outlook support and integration with Active Directory since 2002, but did not initially support groupware features such as calendaring and shared contacts properly until years later. It wasn't until 2007 that Kerio began to coalesce into an alternative to Exchange — and with the release of Kerio MailServer 6.5, its transformation into an Exchange killer is complete."

Submission + - David Pogue reviews the Apple TV

necro81 writes: David Pogue of the NY Times has devoted his weekly column to the newly released Apple TV. He also has a video blurb to go with it. He compares it to the XBox360 and Netgear's EVA8000, which also deliver content traditionally trapped in a PC onto a TV set. Apple TV Pros: setup is as easy as can be, it's small and silent form factor will be good for home theaters, and the interface and remote control are intuitive. Cons: HDTV only, playback is limited to formats playable within iTunes, and no internet functionality other than movie trailers.

Submission + - HowTo: Play movies on your AppleTV sans conversion

brad-x writes: "Since the Apple TV is running MacOS X, it is possible to install arbitrary codecs and have it play. The following instructions save time by not requiring the user to transcode all their movies (and suffer the lossy conversion), but does involve some expertise. Read on for more.

If the story is approved please approve the one using .nyud.net:8080 as I forgot to include that in the first submission. Sorry. :("
