Apple Computer may acquire TiVo during 2005 in a bid to become a major player in the digital home, suggests a new report by Forrester Research. "The Battle For The Digital Home," a new report from Forrester Research, Inc., evaluates ten industries, including consumer electronics, PC, content, games, telecommunications, and cable, that are vying for control of the digital home. It concludes that some industries are better positioned for success, but all must focus on capturing and controlling new revenue streams through key cross-industry partnerships and acquisitions. Because the digital home power positions traverse industry lines, Forrester sees many partnerships forming during the next three years. Potential digital home alliances include: Apple's acquisition of TiVo, providing Apple with a service platform for TV and video on-demand; a joint venture between the NFL and FOX to create an immersive experience where sports fans can choose viewer-selected camera angles and split-screen content; Sony's acquisition of Clear Channel to combine Sony's music and devices business with Clear Channel's radio stations to offer personalized time-shifted digital radio; Google's acquisition of TV Guide's interactive program guide allows it to deliver a best-in-class personalized media application – video search; a partnership between Microsoft and BellSouth, Verizon, and SBC to provide an operating platform for IPTV, and finally, Disney's acquisition of Electronic Arts.

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!)

Does anyone have an MP3 of the song "Tivo, My Tivo" from the off-Broadway [hit | miss] The Gayest Straight Man Alive? Because I'd really like to hear it. Also, could someone explain what "surprisingly straight" means? Is that, like, no dicks at all? Not even your own? (Thanks, Peter, for the "tip.")

 Apple reclaims world's leading brand crown from Google:
 The US-based computer giant was voted the most influential brand of 2004 in a survey of about 2,000 advertising executives, brand managers and academics, conducted by Brandchannel. The magazine's parent company, Interbrand, said that Apple Computer's re-dominance in the latest survey was driven by the iMac computer and the trend-setting iPod music players. The online search giant, Google, descended to the second position in the latest survey, after having held the top position in the past two years.

 Apple upgrades laptop line: 
US computer company Apple has launched a new PowerBook line, featuring PowerPC G4 processors running up to 1.67GHz. All PowerBooks come standard with 512MB memory, integrated AirPort 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.0 wireless networking and two Apple patent-pending technologies — the Scrolling TrackPad and the Sudden Motion Sensor. Every PowerBook includes iLife ’05, Apple’s suite of digital lifestyle applications. iLife ’05 includes iTunes 4.7.1, iPhoto 5, iMovie HD, iDVD 5 and GarageBand 2.

There are many news items concerning Apple over the weekend, some good and some not so good. Let's throw them all in a one news article and see what happens.

Apple won round one of their court case to divulge the sources of the three online publications. There will be at least one appeal, but the foundation has been laid and a strong precedent has been set which denies journalistic rights to online publications and blogs. It's tough for Apple fans to see their company turning into another Microsoft where fiscal concerns over-shadow the people concerns.

On a high note, the best is getting better. In a surprise move, the next version of OSX, Tiger, is being rumored to have an April 15th release date. When I was at MacWorld in January, Jobs told us that Tiger would be out in Mid 2005. This would be sooner then expected. OSX is considered the Cadillac of operating systems and the improvements in Tiger will make it the OS to have.

We also seen another appearance of CherryOS, a Mac emulator for PCs. According to folks that have looked at the code in CherryOS, it has many similarities to PearPC. Best thing is to leave the dust settle before getting involved with this project.
