Bernews headlinesJournalism is changing so fast these days that career advice about entering the business is becoming outdated and irrelevant. With print media seemingly struggling to survive and electronic media under pressure from the internet, “uber-blogger” Robert Scoble says would-be journos today need to be multi-tasking entrepreneurs and should look for options outside traditional media.

Without being able to test-drive it, it’s hard to know quite what to make of the revamped Apple TV.
Apple TV has become an integral and much-loved part of our family’s leisure time – as much for the promise of TV a la carte as for the convenience of renting movies on a whim and banishing video store late fees forever – and we’d just picked up a 160Gb version as we are increasingly loading it up with family movies and slideshows from the Mac. Even with Bermuda’s sluggish speeds, it works well enough for us to never go back to renting DVDs. Ever.
But I have to say I was hoping for a bit more from this next generation. Netflix is nice but you can’t get access from Bermuda without a US VPN – and given that the new Apple TV is apparently a purely streaming device with no storage, I’m not sure how that might work. At present you have to do a hack using aTV, and my experience is that the VPN doesn’t work easily – and of course there’s the hassle of having to renstall aTV if you update the Apple software.
