This 128 reusable drive contains 29 songs, including the band's 2004 "Barenaked for the Holidays" album, in MP3 format along with live tracks, in-concert spoken quips, album art, photos, videos and more.
Wow, that's a whole lot of material to try to cram into a 128MB drive. I'm guessing the bitrate and resolutions for all of that stuff is quite low...
It launched already??? Why haven't I heard anything about this yet?!?! The slashdot editors need to get off their asses and help hype this thing a little bit...
Reminds me of a page that doesn't appear to be around anymore -- band-a-minute. I did come across this partial(?) listing of the contents of that page. It obviously means nothing if you're not familiar with the 90s-oughts indierock scene...My favorite from there: "Behold! The future of music: BOAT ROCK!!!" Oh how true that is...
So, are pajamas a requirement of being a blogger now? If so, are there some outfits that are considered more suitable than others? And how will we refer to people who do their blogging in the nude?
Fox News and Fox Entertainment are based in the US. News Corporation, Fox's parent company is indeed owned by Rupert Murdoch, and is based in Australia. That's precisely why I mentioned that although some are owned by multinationals, the entities in that list are all American.
Actually, all of those companies are very much American. The parent companies may be multinational, but that doesn't change the fact that the ones listed above are American. As for your comment about CNN, you do realize that CNN was started by Ted Turner and is based in Atlanta, GA, right? Don't let the British accent fool you. Thanks for being yet another ignorant American...
Otherwise, you risk getting yourself in these situations. Just ask Microsoft.
I called up the Microsoft support line to ask. They told me they've never had any problems with faulty software or security vulnerabilities and that I should contact my hardware manufacturer.
Who installs software from an audio CD? Anyone who runs Windows and hasn't specifically disabled autorun for the optical drive. It's not like it prompts you to install it. In other words, simply putting the disk into a drive on ~98% (I'm guessing here) of the Windows machines out there will result in the rootkit being installed.
Since the files will be converted to mp4 files, they should be playable on a Mac. Let's hope that they'll spend the next few months before rollout working on a Mac compatible version of TiVo Desktop so that you can actually do the conversion on one, too.
Hey hey now! Repealing the 22nd amendment is entirely possible. Not to mention, the name is more of a bad joke than anything...It's my pseudo-troll account, and I've somehow managed to work my way up to excellent karma... : /
Will this automated transcoding process increase the time it takes to put it on the handheld even more?
I don't remember if it was mentioned in one of those articles, or if it was a different one, but somewhere it said that conversion is realtime, with about another 10 mins to transfer to the iPod/PSP. It really does sound like the slowest part of the process is getting the data onto your machine from the TiVo (although, if the transcoding is able to keep up with that, then the point is fairly moot anyways). I'm in your DirecTiVo situation, too, so I can't take advantage of this. And I don't wanna give up my dual-tuner goodness for it either... : /
Gee, I wonder if the company's failure had anything to do with using a Lego robot in your investor pitch...Don't get me wrong, I personally would've loved it. Then again, I'm not the type of guy who has money to give to cool projects...
I was at the mall yesterday. EB Games had a demo unit and a table set up with pamphlets and someone in 360 gear to talk to about the system. Thing was, the system was off. The place was crowded, so I didn't bother asking him about it. Then when I went to Target, they had their display unit set up, but off, too. I can understand the Target situation -- getting things setup in advance for the Tuesday launch. But the EB Games situation was just weird. If you're going to have someone to talk to about the system and everything, you'd think they'd have the demo unit running so that you could actually see it in action...

You can only use it if you get one of these to go along with it...

My previously mentioned Free Software, Inc. will now be called Open Source Media, Inc.
I don't browse the web.
I object to the use of the TheRaven64's account because I have no idea who he/she is or who they represent.
Soon we will see MS Linux and SCO Windows.
Oh, we're fairly certain there's SCO code in Windows. Once SCO's done with IBM they're gonna go after Microsoft. Just you wait and see...
Pffft. Facts...Don't let them get in the way, especially when someone's busy making fun of our President's ineptinitude...
I recall hearing that Rupert was an American citizen, but I wasn't aware that NewsCorp had relocated to the US. Thanks for the info! Good to know.

Ummmm, where's the foot icon? It's good to know that the author considers this a joke, but I'm afraid that Hemos might not be in on it...

Silly Brit. It's not considered propaganda if it's coming from within your own country...
Alright, just in time to coincide with the launching of my company, Free Software, Inc. I'll have a product list and pricelist available shortly.
