To us, the Apple TV has always come across a crippled product. Whether this is due the lack of content, features or in it's latest rendition, storage, Steveo's self-confessed hobby project has never really captured much attention as 'just another set-top box'. However, another iOS device means another iOS Jailbreak, and this time round Fire Core are bringing web surfing and Last.fm to the big A's second generation little black box.

Judging by their video demos, these big-screen mods look pretty slick, and we'd hope so too as this ain't free software folks! $49 is the asking price for first-gen aTVs, with second generation prices yet to be announced. Read on for the all important show-off vids.

Heads up iOS fans, there's a hot new UI in the house! Infact theres two, neither of which incidentally are likely to come our way anytime soon but hey, it's fun to gawk.

The crime in question: Blowing apart Apple's mobile software and installing another juicy interface.
The accused: One @DHowett and one @Hexxeh
The verdict: Guilty. Oh yes...

Steve Jobs has debuted the new cloud based Apple TV live on-stage at Apple's september music event. The terrifically tiny new design houses an A4 chip... and little else!

The service offers commercial-free HD movie and TV show (shows currently U.S only) rentals from just 99¢ an episode and $3.99 a flick. Also included is Netflix's app, which gives users access to even more titles, and a more flexible method of paying for content.

This, alongside a whole new UI and Apple's iOS screen-sharing software 'AirPlay' for just $99/£99

It's September, Apple are out to play and their wielding a rather fruity looking guitar. That's right, it's music time!

As per usual the tech world is a-buzz with a smorgasbord of 'leaks', rumours, wish-lists and predictions. One thing not so usual is Apple's decision to live video stream the entire event, so catch yourself up on the latest and join us back here for our live Twitter commentary of the september music special, or head over to @Gigabyt3 for more of the same, starting:
