Host change

By Ryan | Published: March 8, 2010

I am currently in the process of moving iamthekiller off of Wordpress and onto a new hosting platform. If the site goes down for a period of time you can access the backup site here. The backup site will only remain active until I migrate to the new site. I apologize for any inconvenience. I will do my best to make sure this domain stays up, either here, or redirects to the backup site.

AppleTV updates

By Ryan | Published: February 20, 2010

Well I’ve been busy recently as I’m in the middle of moving to Texas. I have been working on a definitive guide for the AppleTV and should be posting it in the coming weeks. I hope to cover the CrystalHD, converting HD video as well as a new guide for using MKVDTS2AC3, unlocking AFP and general usage guides.

The purpose of this guide will be so anyone can get the most out of the AppleTV, hopefully I can cover all skill levels however the MKVDTS2AC3 conversion process is quite tricky. The guide will get its own link at the top so look for it soon.

Accessory is not made to work with iPhone

By Ryan | Published: February 4, 2010

This annoying popup appears every time I plug my iPhone 3G into my iPod dock. Sure, I could buy the iPhone dock but why when I already have a dock that essentially does the same thing. I quickly looked for a way to disable this popup and found a few guides, unfortunately they all had consequences. The only guide that blocked this popup made the service it replaced crash constantly. This made the crash reporter run the entire time at about 50% CPU utilization. Luckily Apple realized this popup is very annoying.

This error message is quite annoying.

After a few days of hitting “No” every time I docked my iPhone before I went to bed I noticed that the popup just goes away after about 15 seconds. This is on 3.1.2 firmware so I’m not sure if it was included in earlier firmwares. I mean sure the fact that I can’t disable the popup annoys me but since it disappears automatically I can at least ignore it.
