Just in case you haven’t noticed, Maccast.com is feeling the pressure of some heavy activity from DIGG. This is awesome, but obviously unexpected. I have ordered some more processing power and memory, but it won’t be added until early tomorrow morning. This is just heads up to let you know that until then the site performance may be a bit spotty and you may even see the occasional error. Of course, there will also be a brief outage around 10:00 AM PST tomorrow while we upgrade the server. Sorry for the trouble.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Special coverage of AppleTV. This show features a discussion with special guest Ara Derderian from the HDTV Podcast. We talk about Apple’s soon to be released AppleTV product. The show goes into the features offered by the first generation product and we discuss it’s benefits and it’s shortcomings, plus offer some alternatives. The goal was to answer many of the questions we have all had since Steve Jobs previewed the device at WWDC. Hopefully we did a good job.
