Since Apple’s newest device, the Apple TV, hit the market a week ago, hackers have been attempting to see what they could get the device’s operating system to run on. From running it on a Macbook, and booting on a portable hard drive, one hacker has been able to run the OS on his dad’s Casio calculator watch. “I was bored, so I tried to run the Apple TV operating system on the watch, and it worked much better than I thought that it would,” said the hacker, who goes by the name BrownEyeLover.
The watch needs a bit more than just the standard watch components to run though. BrownEyeLover explains, “See, you take the watch, and you hook up this external hard drive to it, then you hook up this Wi-Fi antenna to it, then you hook up this box which has a graphics card inside, then hook up this motherboard to it. After that, you hook up this thing, and then that thing, then you connect these cables, then solder this wire to this. After that, you take this and connect it to this, and viola! It’s pretty easy to do, and now I can watch streaming television shows on my watch. Pretty cool, huh?”
The watch was perfect, for when you want to sit near your computer, with a backpack full of gear, and watch streaming media… or do your math homework.
