Why this is big...This is big news because it allows third party developers to create applications that play on the TV. This means that existing applications writers can extend the Tivo platform.
- Play your powerpoint slides on a TV
- Control your home automation on your TV
- Check your baby-monitor on your TV
- Get stock quotes on your TV
Any application that currently runs on a PC can explore opportunities to provide a TV based user experience. It's not about the three demo apps that are included. (Weather, news, RSS) it's about the 2 million homes that are now enabled with a platform that extends into the living room. In the next two months you'll see some amazing applications as all the Tivo enthusiasts go and create innovative applications.
(I believe this is the fruit of the strangeberry project)

Rendezvous for Java, Eclipse
You can get Rendezvous for Java from StrangeBerry. I'd like to see this built into Eclipse.

Interesting stuffOS X and Mandrake are both using CUPS. That means the printer will show up in your printer list even without Rendezvous as CUPS broadcasts the info itself. I have such a setup right now and it works flawlessly. I would be interesting to see what Mandrake have cooked up with ZeroConf support. As far as I know there's only two ways to advertise services using ZeroConf on a Linux box; with a Java program or mdnsd. I wonder if MandrakeSoft have written their own software? More info can be found here.
