Just Stuff, Tech

TiVo & Netflix

An interesting rumor is making the rounds…

Both companies are denying it..but, according to Newsweek, Netflix and TiVo are about to announce a partnership that will allow people who subscribe to both TiVo and Netflix to download the movies they want to watch, instead of having to wait for them to be mailed out…. if its true…its the perfect couch potato subscription…

If it’s true…it’ll be interesting to see how they work out the details (how long do you ‘rent’ the movie for…how do you ‘return’ it, how many times can you watch it.. etc..)

Now…if TiVo would just release a stand-alone HDTV unit… I’d get one and be a happy camper…

iTunes Music Store Affiliate Program

The other day, Apple introduced the iTMS affiliate program

Where webmasters can submit their site for approval, and if approved any purchases at the iTMS inside 24 hours (made by following a link on the affiliate website) result in a 5% commission being paid. After seeing some of the sites that have been approved, I figure it couldn’t hurt to try.. so I applied to be an iTMS affiliate today. Just waiting to hear back, and see if I got approved (hopefully!).

The same day, Apple announced that iTMS has sold 125,000,000 songs, further extending its lead as the market leading (and best!) online music store!

It’s Comng!

Finally! Aspyr has announced that Knights of the Old Republic has gone gold!!!

It was supposed to be released in the middle of August.. that didn’t happen though… Today, Aspyr announced that the most anticipated game of the Fall (at least…by me!) has gone gold and is expected to be in stores on the 19th of September…. I know what I’m buying myself as a post-labor day, “hey, it’s almost October” gift!
