Apple to Buy TiVo?

i'd say there's a near 100% chance apple is going to try to do for video what iTunes Music Store did for audio-- its just a question of how and when. i imagine the tivo hardware as an add-on to the Mac mini. sort of turn your mac mini into the ultimate digital hub and media center. the price would have to come down some, but the solution fits with apple's past. the only thing missing is software. apple never realeases new hardware without mastering it via software. so this is only 50 percent of the rumor... organizing and interfaceing with the content and the rest of your media sources... that's the key.
