Yes, it has aged. Badly. So many sections talking about DV cams, DVD burning, 3G mobile, video streaming,... now mainly put a smirk in your face. But the essence of the hacks themselves keeps a lot of value even now. It’s definitely still worth a reading and probably some occasional re-reading too. I’d love to see some updated book able to keep up with this one.
