Slimming Down Your Flash Drive [At Your Own Risk]

So I was bored this weekend and decided to slim down my old memory stick for no apparent reason.

Supplies you will need:
  • Memory Stick
  • Tape (Clear packing tape looks best)
Step 1 - Remove plastic covering around the flash drive and circuit board.
Step 2 - Wrap tape around circuit board

And voila, you have a slimmed down flash memory stick

SlingPlayer Coming to iPod touch and iPhone Soon?

According to 9 to 5 Mac via Electricpig.tv, this is indeed the case:
"ElectricPig.tv is saying that Sling is ready to build an iPhone-iPod touch client for its popular place shifting video and TV over the Internet hardware. Obviously it won't work well over EDGE, but it will work over WiFi and eventually over 3G. Their Sling source said:

"iPhone and iPod touch are OS X devices, and we can write OS X apps with our eyes closed. It's coming.

We know the 3G iPhone's coming so that'll obviously be better. But for now the iPod touch could end up being the best way to use Slingplayer."

The iPhone-iPod makes sense as a fantastic platform for the Slingplayer. However, Apple might not want them on their platform for fear of interfering with iTunes TV shows. Perhaps Sling can build a streaming Quicktime format with web controls that can be utilized through AJAX?

As Slingbox and iPhone owning expats, we can only say to Apple....Bring the Sling!"

What Do You Want To See?

I was wondering, what other things would you guys like me to write about besides OS X product reviews, because I'm sure not all of you are as Apple fanboyish as myself - not that I have anything against Windows in the slightest. News? Rumors? Interesting articles from other good sites? leave a comment below and let me know what you think.
