Watching the Apple Event about those filthy Next Gen Laptops, on the worlds cheapest computer the Raspberry Pi, using AirPlay.
Apple TV eat your heart out, it does so much more too and at a fraction of the price.
Imagine what is possible when the RasPi goes mainstream.

Apple AirPlay and Raspberry Pi were made for each other in heaven.

This shit just works!

Using a RPi with Raspbmc & an iPad @ 1080p res, this is now my no.1 choice of getting hd vid from anywhere to the main TV hassle free.

iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTunes, AppleTV all work seamlessly with the Raspbmc interface on the RPi using AirPlay built into your iOS device.

Techie note: The only extra thing i needed to do to get Raspbmc working correctly with AirPlay was to install the “avahi-daemon”

apt-get install avahi-daemon

Give Your Pi a Home:

I found a new home for my RasPi.

It’s actually a really neat little case and the Pi fits snuggly inside making setup and use easier and safer. There are not many cases out there yet for the Raspberry Pi, but this one from the UK is not bad for a starter.

If you’re interested you can get them from here: http://www.skpang.co.uk/catalog/raspberry-pi-cover-basic-shape-clear-p-1097.html

RasPi Geek Tutorial Update for Mac Users:

RasPiWrite is a script that makes it dead easy to install Raspberry Pi disk images to an SD card. Currently, this is the only automated way of preparing an SD card for use as a Raspberry Pi’s file system /’hard drive’ on your Mac.

In short, RasPiWrite allows you to:

Download compatible disk images for use out of the box, or use your own!

Smartly select and unmount an inserted SD card

Install the image to an SD card.

Things are moving so fast in the RasPi developer world and the device isn’t even out yet!
