Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, there was this thing called pyTiVo that I was using to transcode stuff so I could copy it to my TiVo. And then Vuze had this thing where it would transcode and share for you, and I could copy it to my TiVo. And then I noticed an entry in Vuze for my TV, and now I can stream directly from my laptop to my TV. Like, right from my laptop to my TV. I don't even have to take up storage space on my TiVo anymore. I don't have to install a new app.

I LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE.

Our wings are not tired.

Neat! Which Tivo do you have again?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What kind of TV?

Oh yeah I guess that's more the point? I misunderstood.

Samsung LN46C630. It's last year's 46" 1080 model.

I can't rewind or fast forward or pause or anything, but for watching 22 minutes of acquired TV at once, it's pretty damned nifty.

My iPad is "On FedEx vehicle for delivery".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay!

ION, a friend just bought a MacBook Air and she didn't know it doesn't have an Ethernet connection. She does all her online banking using her laptop's Ethernet connection rather than WiFi. So I found some USB-to-Ethernet thingies online for between $16 and $30 or so. But a guy at the Apple department of Circuit City told her she has to use an Apple USB-to-Ethernet connector ($29) rather than a non-Apple one. But I've seen non-Apple USB-to-Ethernet connectors that say they work with Macs.

Any idea who's right?

Pretty much any USB to Ethernet adapter ought to work.

And damnit. The Fedex guy showed up when the doorman was OTL.

Boo!

In other news, Firefox 4 really does seem to be a lot faster than 3.x
