Patrick Norton and Jim Louderback headed to New York City for our annual Digital Life consumer show at the Javits Center. They uncovered some nifty new gadgets, and TiVo's wacky promotion -- a funeral for the VCR. Find out more by watching the video they sent back.
Great clip, can't wait to watch the whole show !!!!
How long will iPOD survive with all these companies coming up, yes iPOD as a technology is and will get better but can apple take the pressure from other companies.
Because I am afraid iPOD will eventually end up like MAC in the 80's where other companies get the idea and exploit it better.
I recommend you all to watch the interview of Dave Winer the father of RSS taking about RSS and programming as well as about Gates and Jobs at http://www.pbs.org/cringely/nerdtv/
I like the idea of watching those clips, for me especially lectures but I am still waiting for portable players with greater capacity with web facilities and of course more competitive prices.
I personally think the quality and value are yet to be desired unless you have sufficient green to spend.
I think you guys already mentioned about the fall/decline and probable death in both the episodes of TWiT as well at digitallife, then what's all this hoopla by TiVo needing old VCR's for new TiVo, apart from people owning more TiVo's I WONDER WHAT HARDWARE THEY NEED FROMT HE VCR'S ?
About multiple musicians playing all at the same time linked via the web all sounds great and yes it's a great "idea". But let's face the reality it's just an idea and i think it will take some time for the technology to catch up for the possibilty to exploit it to it's real potential. The outcome will have endless applications.
But that's just got to wait for now.

I wish I could watch the video but for some reason Windows Media Player 10 keeps telling me it can't find the codec. :-(
I hope they have multiple codec distributions of the video soon like they normally do.

I couldn't get the clip to run when I visited the link, had to run it from IE. Apparently the MediaPlayer plugin for Firefox is less than optimal. Shocker.

Works in IE but not FF for me too.

Anyone else having problems using their built in player? I tried to watch the last full episode plus this clip, but the video is scrambled to where all I see are various pretty bright colors in place of any actual texture. Does that make sense?
I see motion and the shapes of things, but instead of any kind of gradient, I see solid bright colors in their place.
Any idea what is causing this? Thanks!

Video streamed fine for me. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for everything guys.

Running it right now on Firefox 1.0.7 with no problem, Craig. Everyone at work also had no problems and apart from a few Safaris, everyone uses Firefox
Before you get too shocked next time maybe see if youre not the problem.
Wow, Im impressed someone has mentioned video and not Ipod in the same sentence. After doing some research on the net, I discovered that there are plenty of portable videos gizmos. I still have no use for them but its nice to hear smoething about other products that do the same thing. bring Heron out with his giant screens!!
The NerdTV site is definitely a must.
I listen to three shows, Nerd TV for the interviews, Digital Life for the gizmos and LugRadio for humour, Linux and OSS talk.
Everything else seems like masturbatory twits by contrast.
