    • How Little Sleep Can You Get Away With?
      We’ve discussed how much sleep you need (at least seven hours, for most people), but often our real question is the flip side: Can you get away with less than the optimal amount, or even replace your night’s sleep with a series of round-the-clock naps?
    • The Most Common Money Schemes People Still Fall For
      They say a sucker is born every minute, but shady businesses are good at convincing you you’re a genius, not a sucker, for giving them your money. Many of these outfits prey on people want to improve their finances, which adds insult to injury. You know to stay away from bogus IRS collectors and Nigerian princes, but there are some less obvious, perfectly legal scams people fall for all the time.

So whenever I play a movie/TV show, I have to manually choose 'Computer' from the dropdown box to get it to show on my iMac and stop it from playing on my Apple TV downstairs. What's worse is that it resets to my Apple TV after every video, meaning I have to reselect my speakers every time I pick a new track. I've tried reinstalling, restarting and updating (both Apple TV and iTunes), I can't think of any other way to stop it short of turning off 'Look for remote speakers connected with AirPlay' in preferences and losing a great feature...
