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!
Anyone used Swivel Search on TiVo yet? I haven't paid attention to find out the ramifications of this "opt in" thing they ask for, but just sampling the functionality off of "Rescue Me" was interesting.
Basically, it lines up searches--other broadcasts with the same actors, and other ones with the same tag.
Not sure how often I'd use it, since I tend to be either less directed or more focussed in looking for a new fix. But decent offer--and I'm curious to see how the promise of finding downloads with the same criteria pans out. So far their show downloads involve Amazon.
Speaking of tactile feel, how surprised was I when the Wii controller that I picked up at a friends' house not only made noise but also gave vibrational feedback cued by what was happening onscreen. I've never been much of a fan of computer/console games, but this instantly converted me to wanting one of those Wii thingies.
Dude - not only did I bring home A BABY today, but my Harmony Remote is here! One-handed TV/Tivo/DVD/sound system navigation-while-breastfeeding here I come!
(Baby is currently sleeping. I know the traditional wisdom is "sleep when the baby sleeps," but I think the people who say that must not have cool new shiny toys to play with.)
Is this the first-ever baby announcement in the technology thread? I mean, I know it's far from the first Harmony announcement, but the pairing is kinda sweet...
Just remember not to try changing the remote, and attaching the baby to any USB ports....

Oh, I'm sure he's very plug-and-play. These modern kids, with their crazy interoperability...

Please. As if I would have ordered a baby that didn't come with Bluetooth and Wifi built-in.
Jessica is cracking me up over here.
I think in this case it would be wise to take out the extended warranty, as I hear Best Baby is now charging a restocking fee for exchanges. Mostly I don't endorse the extra cost, but you put a lot of work into an infant.
So is the sprog 802.11n or the older 802.11g?
