Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Does anyone know if the USB port on the Tivo is a USB 2.0 port? If it isn't then going wired isn't going to help much.
On the "nightlight" Series 2 Tivos, I believe the capability is there but not yet activated in firmware. At CES, they hinted that USB 2.0 support should be in firmware released later this spring. (It's not part of the 7.1 release that's being rolled out at the moment.)
The Tivo in my room is networked to the router wirelessly, but in my parents' bedroom, I have a Netgear FA 120 adapter plugged into the Tivo with the ethernet cable running from that to the router's wired ports. It definitely makes a difference. We only have an 802.11b network, but when I use Tivo Publisher to view photos through the Tivo, it's practically useless on my unit because it's too slow going wireless from the laptop to the router and back to the unit in my room, but everything appears fine on the wired Tivo. Transfers between the units aren't too bad, averaging just a tad over real time.
My iPod Shuffle arrived today....it's so cute!
Do not eat iPod Shuffle.
The thing's so small, I'll have to try hard not to. ;)
Don't lick the USB end. Also, brush your teeth first.
You sound as if you're talking from experience.

I'm thinking that, somewhere in there, is a joke involving that USB vibrator but I'm going to avoid finding it.
ita, do it! Rob got me the hookup, and I have a 12" Powerbook, which is fabulous. Personally, I was afraid it would be too small, but I don't do any video editing or anything, so it works fine for me--I'm more likely to be carrying it through the airport, and glad it weighs and takes up as little space as it does.
Apple has already lowered the prices of various build-to-order options for the Mini-Mac. [link] (site is semi-slashdotted at the moment)
Maybe they're responding to criticisms that the various options were overpriced.
iPod question:
Is there a way to make the iPod play gaplessly? The one I borrowed had an album where the tracks run together seamlessly on the CD, but on the iPod there was a fraction of a second of silence when it changed tracks.
