Use AirPlay Mirroring on your Mac

Ever wish you could mirror your Mac's display onto your Apple TV in the same way you can your iPad or iPhone 4S? Then good news, everyone!
AirParrot is a new application that does just that. It's incredibly easy to use, and even on full quality has very few issues streaming video. Even full screen streaming content shows up well on the big screen.

The application is $10, and available on their website. It's incredibly convenient, and works quite well (otherwise I wouldn't be posting about it). If you've been looking to mirror your Mac display on your Apple TV, definitely check it out.

Airplay and iMessages coming to Mac OS?

Lion showed that features of iOS could easily be ported over to Mac OS. Now it's rumored that two more popular iOS features will be on their way over to the Mac, Airplay Mirroring and iMessages.

You can already use Airplay within iTunes to stream your music and movies to an Apple TV. However, Airplay mirroring, like that on the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, would allow users to stream whatever is on the screen of their Mac to their Apple TV, essentially making any TV a wireless screen for your Mac.

As for iMessages, it's to be expected. Apple released FaceTime for the Mac soon after its release for iOS. It only makes sense that Apple would want their all in one messenger client on Mac OS as well as every iOS device.

The two technologies are currently in development, and could see a release within the next few months.
