16Gb 1st Gen Touch here. Got it when they first came out. I not only don't leave the house without it, I rarely leave a room without it. - Mark VandenBerg
Touch. After owning one since it came out it has changed what I use to access the internet. I am probably on the Touch 75% of the time and my laptop the other 25%. Game changing for me. But, I am right on the edge of buying the iPhone, not because I need the phone, but because I want more connectivity than I have been able to get with the Touch. I am not surrounded by free WiFi unless I am at home or certain restaurants and airports. That gets frustrating at times. Oh yeah, and it also plays music and podcasts. Thinking about dropping my Sirius subscription in the car since I listen to the Touch 95% of the time. - Michael Pardee
“I have a very (i couldn't think of an adjective) question. I haven't done this, but, is it okay to grab images from the web and add them to your posts? Sort of, to augment your blog..?”
The only thing I saw there related to your question was the Piknik service video, but I doubt that is what you were asking. I like http://www.sxc.hu/ for finding good quality pictures (specially for compositions and graphic design). Just contact the authors for permission. - Jorge Blanco
The lesson explains how to pick a product and then how to get the picture, you will want the Picture to "be worth a 1000 words" From there you can use generic pictures as Jorge stated make sure they are not copywrited - Mark South
@Mark generic pictures? you mean like google image search pics? and oh by the way, thanks for helping.. - Paul Kendrick Sarcia
You have to check copyright and give credit where credit is due. Not everything that comes up in google search is free to just use whatever way you want, but there are lots out there that are. Just check on it first. - marilyn robertson
I think you can grab freely and legally the shared photos at Photobucket and maybe some at Flikr, too! - Merina
I had the same question a bit back. Yes, you will be in deep POOP if you use pictures that are not owned by you, bought or allowed by the owner. http://www.thirtydaychallenge.... - Sheryl Loch
"TiVo becomes the latest Silicon Valley company to resort to laying employees off as it “manages through the challenges presented by a difficult economic climate,” as well as what it, perhaps euphemistically refers to as “a rapidly evolving retail consumer market.”
Perhaps “devolving” would be the more appropriate verb choice. Or does TiVo know something about other changes in consumer habits, in addition to the evidently growing consumer fad of, well, consuming less." - Chris White
Do layoffs mean you maybe hired more full-timers than you should have? Perhaps the time is right for us all to become consultants. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Don't they need someone to deliver pizzas? - Mona N.
Daniel: TiVo's headcount has remained pretty steady over time. There are a lot of companies more deserving of the 'you hired too quickly and now you pay the price' snark than TiVo is. This is a sad day for TiVo and many of my friends who work there. - Kevin Fox
I ♡ TiVo. We have two, including a Series 1 and an HD. They pioneered this market and should have gotten much bigger than they have. Great product. - Louis Gray
Louis, I feel the same way. There are just a handful of products / services that are in the same class as TiVo in my book. - Mike Doeff
The problem TiVo ran into (and WebTV also) was that the cable/satellite companies control everything. Once they partnered with companies with better UIs, they created internal projects to build their own DVRs, and then ended the partnerships. Getting a box from your provider became the default compared to getting a 3rd party product. It's an unfortunate reality of business that there are strategic issues beyond user experience that determine success. It's the primary reason we haven't seen an Apple DVR. - Chris White
