Talkcast tonight: Apple TV 3 reactions and Halloween candy hangovers

Assuming that your Mac isn't still bogged down from the switch back to Standard Time, you should c'mon out tonight and join us for the talkcast. Tonight we'll be talking Apple TV 3.0; if you've upgraded already, we want to hear about your experience, and if you haven't upgraded yet, we want to know which hacks, patches or media players are holding you back. We'll also chat about the Motorola Droid, the latest cellphone challenger to iPhone hegemony. We'll be live at 10 pm ET, so call on in.
To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, or you can try out the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8.
If you've got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac, you can connect via the free Gizmo or X-Lite SIP clients; basic instructions are here. Talk with you then!

I've been ok with the update. I wasn't expecting much as there wasn't an event or any announcement really to build up expectations. I do find that getting to new content is incredibly easy now, and that the overall UI experience brings balance of aesthetics and usability, where the 2.0 interface focussed just on utility and how to drive the store. 3.0 does a better job of both.

given the number of apple tv hacks out there, i really wish they'd just provide an 'expert' mode that allows people to ssh in or nfs mount their movie drives over the network so iTunes doesn't have to be running.
