Jailbreak Apple TV 2G on iOS 6.x Now with Sn0wbreeze 2.9.8
For all of those hardcore Apple TV fans (including myself!) will be pleased to hear, Sn0wbreeze, the Windows based jailbreak tool has also been updated to include an untethered jailbreak for the Apple TV 2G.

A look into the future of iPad 2 iPhone 5 and Apple TV with 1080p
Engadget has posted a detailed look into the future of Apple devices and the shift to Qualcomm chipsets in their mobile device line. Have a look below:
The new iPad will feature a dual GSM / CDMA chipset produced by Qualcomm and will mark Apple’s shift away from Infineon as its chipset maker to Qualcomm for all of its mobile devices.
