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!

For a while, I was priding myself on my ability to use Windows, and almost any Windows app, without ever touching anything but the keyboard.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I love touchpads, but hate the keyboard clitoris. I'm also a big trackball fan.

As long as you don't start licking the keyboard. Not that the keyboard wouldn't appreciate it, but it might take some 'splaining to the boss.

Apparently, Tivo is putting the price of the box in the monthly fee and has "quietly" dropped the lifetime subscription option. People are kind of pissed about this:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, you don't need to purchase one anymore. The hardware's to be "free".
