So I'm lying in bed last night, reading on my new iPad, when it occurs to me that last nights daily show is sitting unwatched on my media server.
Now, my Mac mini media server serves up video to my ps3, but I know it presently will not serve content to an idevice.
And so, the challenge. Configure media server and the iPad to watch the daily show without getting out of bed.
Now it wasn't long before I found the 2.99 airvideo client...got that..but it needs a server component on the media server. Quickly found a remote desktop app, connected to my Mac, downloaded ithe air video server, set it up..and ouila! Daily show. After basking in my general prowess, I realized that it hadn't really taken all that much to turn any idevice into a tv...with a little bittorrent and media server skill...why pay the cable companies for anything but news and sports?
Cable tv's days are numbered...and I'll be doing an increasing amount of my tv consumption away from the big screen..

Women just get it done...
Given a choice, hire the woman....
The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done, there were 3 finalists. Two men and a woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!"
The man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife."
The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."
The second man was given the same instructions.
He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow. "This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."
