Even before receiving a copy of Viacom’s $1 billion lawsuit, Google has released a response.

We have not received the lawsuit but are confident that YouTube has respected the legal rights of copyright holders and believe the courts will agree. YouTube is great for users and offers real […]

Not satisfied with pulling their clips off YouTube (Twice. Indiscriminately.), Viacom is now suing YouTube owner Google for one billion dollars. That’s over half the price Google bought YouTube for, at 1.65 billion dollars.

Any broadband connected TiVo Series2 and Series3 DVR will be able to download and play Unbox videos. Sorry, […]

After reading my previous post about TiVo and Comcast getting their groove on, you may have forgotten about the online media company that partnered with TiVo previously, yep Yahoo!

Lot’s of news from CES over the last few days, but the thing that excites me maybe the most is that the TiVo powered Comcast DVR isn’t too far away. We’ll see how soon I can get my hands on it here in the Indianapolis market. You can be sure I’ll let you know about […]

This is some news that makes me extremely happy. The iPhone didn’t do it for me. I could really care less about a cellphone honestly, I need it to dial people’s numbers, if it synchronizes with my existing Outlook address book, all the better.
