Apple has released the much-anticipated 2.0 update of the Apple TV software.

For a more complete look at the changes, read our feature article. The Apple TV 2.0 update is available now through the "Update Software" menu selection in the Apple TV's Setting menu. Updated: The Apple TV 2.0 update currently offers 75 high-definition movie rentals, a new introductory movie, and unlike the version demonstrated at Macworld Expo in January does not appear to include a 1080p resolution setting. Apple's updating process requires at least six restarts of the Apple TV, three of which include progress bars showing that the update is currently underway, and concludes with the playback of a new movie that replaces the "wall of videos" Apple TV 1.0/1.1 introduction with a slightly different version.
One dead, 8 hurt in wall collapse
Dr Yadvinder Singh has studied the need-based nitrogen management using chlorophyll meter and leaf curl chart. This technique results in 25 per cent saving in fertiliser application. Chlorophyll meter is a simple hand-held devise that helps determine the fertiliser requirements of the crop. It is the green pigmentation or the colour of the plant that indicates the fertiliser needs of the crop and chlorophyll meter enables to measure the same. Similarly, by making use of the leaf curl chart for nitrogen application and management on 2.6 million hectare on which paddy is grown, the farmers can effect saving of around Rs 50 crore. Dr Yadvinder Singh is the principal investigator of an inter-disciplinary Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research-funded project on management of paddy straw.

MSU men: Still time to right ship
To be sure, the Montana State men's basketball team doesn't want to let this thing get any further away from them. And the luster of a 16-point rout of Montana has faded in the haze of three consecutive defeats, the last one, Thursday's 78-76 loss to Weber State, came at home - the Bobcats' first loss at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse this winter.Then again, the senior-laden team is savvy enough to know that every season has its ebb and flow, and perhaps the 'Cats (9-8, 1-3) were due."I'm old - I've been through it all," senior guard Carlos Taylor said. "You aren't going to see my head down."After all, there's so much basketball still to be played, starting with tonight's key 7:05 o'clock game with feisty Idaho State (6-11, 3-1), which is fresh from a 56-54 win at Montana. There's still time to right a semi-listing ship for a team that once looked like Big Sky Conference contenders."And I still think they are," Weber State coach Randy Rahe said after what he described as a "huge" road win.
