So your AppleTV will need to be Jailbroken before doing this.

password: alpine
then continue steps below)
2) Type “passwd” and enter a new password (if you wish)
3) Type: echo “deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org ./” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
4) Type: apt-get update
5) Type: apt-get install com.nito.nitoTV

White iPhone 4 Delayed until Spring of 2011

Yet again Apple has announced that they are pushing back the release of the white iPhone 4 until Spring of 2011. They haven’t said why its being pushed back further but supposedly its because of some manufacturing issues. We can guess they are waiting to release the white iPhone 4 with CDMA support for use on Verizon’s network. If you have been waiting to get a white iPhone 4, you are going to have to settle with the black one unless you want to wait until next year.
