TiVo and Rendezvous

An anonymous reader writes "Just found this press release on the Apple web site. Time to upgrade the TiVo?" Looks way excellent. Right now I have an old iBook sitting on top of the TV, and it streams MP3s via AirPort from the server. But it would be so much better to just listen to the MP3s through the TiVo instead ... and have access to my iPhoto albums too? Sweet. But I would still want it to be wireless: Josuah writes "Alex King has set up his TiVo 2 to download its meta information over his 802.11b network, instead of the landline. He's got step-by-step instructions up." I'd probably want to use 802.11g though ... lots of data, this is.

I'm so great at this! Let's all talk about how cool I am. I like Slashdot, am a geek and use Linux. So fear me, and my first post skills.

Boring... Slow news day here..

This is boring. No real interesting news.
TiVO is for rich TV consumers who can and want to
afford this intellectual chewing gum that is sold in
"packages" by the cable companies.
Boycott TV at all! Use internet or walk, play with children,
socialize, go biking, go swimming, go fishing!

Re:Rendezvous

>> I'll say it again. Rendezvous is gonna change the world.

It won't change nothing if it's proprietary and doesn't play nice with other OS's (Windows included).

I think people are getting fairly fed up with artificial barriers between mac/windows/linux on the same network. I know I am.

Why isn't there an open source package that just makes it easy to share folders/files/printers across all platforms? Like Samba, but without being a cloned MS tech?
