TiVo Offering To Buy Off Journalists...
Or Just Mispromoting A Small Deal?

TiVo Offering To Buy Off Journalists...
Or Just Mispromoting A Small Deal? 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Apparently, TiVo sent out an email to a number of journalists recently discussing their "TiVo Media Accommodation Program," that would let people buy an 80 hour TiVo DVR with a $200 rebate. It didn't take long, of course, for some to wonder if TiVo was trying to buy off the press. Others however, point out that the deal isn't really limited to the press and it wasn't that good of a deal in the first place -- since other rebates are out there, and the real cost of a TiVo is in the service. Still, the naming of the program and the fact that it was emailed out to journalists does seem a bit questionable. Even if it was open to anyone, the fact that they're specifically targeting special deals towards the press does raise some questions. Unfortunately, this sort of stuff does happen all the time -- but just doesn't get that much discussion.

High Growth Expected for Safety PLCs &
Safety Bus/Networks

High Growth Expected for Safety PLCs &
Safety Bus/Networks 04/14/2005 04:00 AM
There are concerns about the reliability and safety in the use of safety buses/networks for machine automatic safeguarding, particularly when safety and non-safety data is handled by the same bus/network. Nevertheless usage is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period, as the use of safety PLCs grows and reliability of operations with safety buses/networks becomes proven. Usage is particularly attractive when machines and controls become more complex (i.e., for example, requiring many emergency stops and/or safety gate switches with multiple actuators).

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back 05/07/2004 10:49 AM
Following up on yesterday's post about NBC's apparent attempts to b0rk potential TiVoers of the Friends finale, BoingBoing reader Douglas Clark says,

I am a loyal Tivo user and Tivo did send out a message alert to users about the Friends episode. It was more along the lines of "if you manually extend the time of a recording, you may miss the beginning of the friends final episode." I find that Tivo is pretty good about catching unusual start times and other wonky tricks the networks play. The previous comment about HUT and ratings was right on the money...

Link to previous BoingBoing post.

Tech maven Meg Hourihan adds, "Even weirder is that I got a message on my Tivo warning me that the finale of Friends would have abnormal times. The message warned that if I wasn't just using the automatic "start on time" and "end on time" settings (i.e. I manually set the start time as 8 PM) that I might miss some. What makes things weirder and worse is that Tivo still didn't record the whole show! I made sure my settings were what the message instructed, and happened to watch the show live. Tivo kicked in to record at 8:59 PM (which is what it listed the start time as) but stopped at 9:59! According to the time on my digital cable box, the program didn't end until 10:03 PM. So if I hadn't watched it live, I would have missed the last four minutes. Seems like a major screw-up on Tivo's part, especially after sending out that message!"

Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?)

Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?) 06/06/2005 12:09 AM

Reuters is running a story about Intel that is chocked full of goo info, including information that their 'Manitoba' mobile chipset has finally found a customer in mmO2 Pic (the Manitoba came out two years ago, to little fanfare, let alone actual adoption by phone manufacturers). But the big news is that Intel will be working with Tivo to provide Tivo-to-Go functionality in future laptop chipsets, like their popular Centrino.

What that is, though, is unclear. Is it just a branding initiative? Tivo-to-Go already works on laptops (that's half the point), so will it be some sort of native support that makes it easier to move the Tivo content around? We don't know—the article is very vague—but at least Tivo is getting some name dropping love from a mega-vendor (considering it was unlikely they were going to get much help from Microsoft, considering they sell a competing product to Windows XP Media Center). (Thanks, Pat!)

RIAA goes after 531 more file sharers

RIAA goes after 531 more file sharers 02/18/2004 10:49 AM
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is continuing its tactic of filing suits against anonymous "John Doe" computer users who the organization accuses of illegally sharing copyright material over peer to peer networks. The association filed lawsuits against 531 unnamed people on Tuesday, claiming that they are offering substantial amounts of copyrighted music files for free. The legal actions were filed in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando and Trenton, New Jersey, the RIAA said.

Music Sharers Move Around

Music Sharers Move Around 03/24/2005 04:47 PM
Here's yet another study that it looks like the press is misinterpreting to turn a small story into a bigger story. CNET is claiming that people who share files online are moving away from online services to trading via their iPods instead. That's a stretch. Beyond the technical difficulty involved in "trading via your iPod," this claim is based on simply the directional trends. The study claims that fewer people are sharing music online, but more are using other means, such as trading via an iPod. However, if you look at the absolute numbers, they're likely to show that such "iPod trading" is a tiny fraction of those who share online. Furthermore, you have to wonder if there's a bias from those surveyed -- since they now know about all the lawsuits, they may be less likely to admit they share music online. About the only thing this study really shows is that people will continue to look for a variety places to get the music they like, and they aren't limited to just one. This means that for every effort the recording industry makes to shut down file sharing offerings, people will just move on to something else.

US federal agents raid file-sharers

US federal agents raid file-sharers 06/05/2005 11:48 PM

United States law enforcement agents raided a series of servers allegedly hosting file-sharing servers. Operation D-Elite targeted sites supporting files using the BitTorrent protocol, focusing especially on the EliteTtorrents site. "Torrents" make files available in many small sections, which increases uploading and downloading speeds.

The action follows a well-publicized complaint by the Motion Picture Association of America ( MPAA ), who criticized the wide availability of torrent versions of the new Star Wars movie.

The Justice Department wouldn't comment on how officials zeroed in on Elitetorrent's biggest players, but ICE's Sevel credited the MPAA, which somehow got a line on the site's server logs.
"The MPAA provided us with information that led us to the logs and data for the servers ... the logs for the users as well as the uploads and downloads," said [ICE supervisory agent Jim] Sevel. The organization did not just provide a list of IP addresses of file swappers -- which is easy to get on any peer-to-peer network -- but found some of "the actual records from the server," Sevel said.

The raids were carried out by several agencies acting in concert, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI , organized by Homeland Security .

Ever since the recording industry started cracking down on file sharers by going after them with lawyers, new services have been popping up promising "anonymity" for anyone who uses them. Of course, most don't give much proof for that claim, and you might want to think twice before believing it. Two file sharers in Japan have apparently been arrested, despite using a supposedly anonymous service. They don't say how they tracked these folks down, but it's making people wonder just how anonymous these anonymous systems really are.
