Hacking The Apple TV

[HardOCP News]

We’ve seen a bunch of mods for Apple TV in the last two weeks, most of them were to add features to Apple’s latest gadget. Well, now it seems that people are taking tthis one step further and modding them into HTPCs. You gotta love cool mods…even Mac based mods.

It's been barely a week since the release of the Apple TV, the new box from Apple that allows for streaming video to a television, but hackers from coast-to-coast have already been able to turn the $300 multimedia box into a full-fledged computer.

It's good that someone found a use for them.

At the end of the store, it appears there's a sort of self healing script going on inside the gizmo...typical for all mac osx os. They'll have to go in and mess with cron and try and disable the script from running.
