Probably has a lot to do with the same mentality which says, "it's ok to give up some of my rights in these trying times, it's for the good of the country."
This is why I bang my head when people think any of their rights have been taken away. Your rights have not been taken away.
I don't see how this could be a good thing. Personally I hate iTunes. Yay, I pay a dollar and get to listen to the music on maybe 3/4 computers, through the iTunes player. The same player that completely fucked up a majority of my MP3 tags. Maybe they will encode everything in QuickTime format so I have to install that piece of shit to watch video off my Tivo.
Tivo screwed up with the Series 2 and I think that is why they are having so much trouble. With the series 1, you were able to do just about anything you wanted with the box. When the Series 2 was released, they locked this ability took the innovations of individuals and packaged them up in their own products. Now, that innovation has come to a halt and the Tivo SDK is a joke, who wants to play tic-tac-toe on tivo? Or skin the mp3 player a million times? They need to open up the Series 2 and let us do what we do best, tinker. I don't see Apple as a company who will open it up for us again... Didn't they bitch when Real did something to allow their format (which is as bad as apples) to play on ipods!
