On this week's episode of Lifehacker, we're cutting the cord. We'll show you how to wirelessly sync music to your iOS or Android device, hack your Apple TV for more cable-free TV watching, make your whole home AirPlay compatible, and more.
This is the seventh episode of season two of Lifehacker. Today's episode highlights:
How to jailbreak your Apple TV 2 and install XBMC on it so you can stream all your video to your little black box
How and where you can watch sports online, including obscure sporting events or streams blacked out in your area
How to make your entire home AirPlay compatible or, if you aren't a big fan of Apple's wireless streaming solution, how to stream media all over your house without AirPlay
We ran down what you can expect from the new iPhone and walked through how to upgrade to the new iPhone for free
We tested various PC tweaks to see how much popular solutions actually improved your computer's performance, especially with games
Dachis detailed how to investigate your potential date, co-worker, or friend on the internet without being too creepy
We walked through how to wirelessly sync music to your Android phone with Winamp, to your iPhone with Wi-Fi sync (or the new features in iOS), or to either with Spotify
