Great article. Too bad the 'old' Wired magazine would've published this in 2000.

the last page was especially interesting to me. Seems like TiVo grew on the word of mouth of a smallish group of techo-savvy folks with an immediate comprehension of the kinds of freedoms a TiVo could offer. The question now is, what did you exchange for those freedoms?

as for the rest of the article, i can't wait until TV is a la carte... it's what i've been wanting for damn near a decade. For fucks sake, if the only shows i care about are Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Dead Like Me, Enterprise and Scrubs, i should get to buy them piecemeal. I'd even go for a seasonal subscription to individual shows if the pricing was right. This all shouldn't be that hard, technologically speaking...


There is a redundant post from crankymessiah not displayed in this view.
