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!)

MP3 Request: "Tivo, My Tivo"

MP3 Request: "Tivo, My Tivo" 06/08/2004 09:07 AM

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.")

Update: While I'm exploiting the good humor of our readers, do any of you 1) live in Canberra, Australia, and 2) take PayPal? I need to get a few cases of VB delivered to some game developers and am having a surprisingly hard time of it.

LG builds "smart washer"

LG builds "smart washer" 09/17/2004 12:40 PM
Every now and then, I come across some news that is just plain odd. This would have to be one of those stories.

If the military can build a missile that can fly through your window and build satellites that can read your license plate... why can't you get a washing machine that helps tell you how best to wash those silk PJs? Well, now you can.

A new washing machine developed by the Dai Nippon Printing Company can read special smart tags on clothing and instruct the user the best method with which to wash the clothes. Not only that, but the LG-built unit can keep track of how many times a particular item has been washed, what material it is made out of, and can even send an email or SMS when your load of laundry is complete.

Just what will they think of next?
(My guess is probably a smart dryer.)

There is a wealth of information available on the Internet and in separate repositories like university library databases. It would save time to be able to search all digital resources using one interface. Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China have come up with a distributed information retrieval system that promises to help. The system could eventually become part of the Internet infrastructure as an extension of the domain name service. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

According to a Eurkalert news release, a company called Fatronik Technological Centre has built a robot capable of climbing on aircraft fuselages and wings while carrying out precision drilling and riveting operations. Using a series of suction cups, the robot can climb on any material that will support its weight. The robot also includes a vision system for self-orienting itself in the work zone. The company plans on adapting the robot to automated ship building and other construction projects.

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Researchers at Microsoft's computer science lab in Cambridge have developed a peer-to-peer filesharing system that they say overcomes the scheduling problems associated with existing distribution protocols such as Bit Torrent.

The researchers claim download times are between 20-30 per cent faster, using their network coding approach, than on systems that only code at the server, and between 200 and 300 per cent faster than distributing un-encoded information.
