If you have an HP MediaSmart Server and a TiVo, you’ll be happy to know the two companies just made it a lot easier for you to view video recorded on your TiVo from any Mac or PC on your network.

Let’s see how well it works

Reproducing a bug is one of the most problematic, “needle in a haystack”-type issues that a software development organization can face. In order to find that bug again so that it doesn’t resurface at a critical time (they always do), you need to recreate the conditions in which the bug first appeared as accurately as you can. That means setting up the same database, application…

Back in early February, while aboard a red-eye to New York, Dave McClure wrote a long, humorous, rambling, profanity-laden rant of a blog post that focused on startup business models. While it makes for an entertaining read, McClure’s post is also very insightful and makes a solid case for why startups should shift from advertising models and instead build their new businesses on subscriptions and micropayments. Earlier this month I had the chance to visit the headquarters of ZooLoo , a startup that witnessed this very shift first-hand with their own business model

If there’s one thing I hate to do without the aid of technology, it’s scratch my own back. That’s why I am pretty pumped about the itch chair, which is a chair with a built in mechanical back scratcher. Yep, if you’re sitting in the chair and feel an itch, simply reach down and run your fingers along the trackpad underneath it

Fewer products are more appropriately named than the Logitech Harmony series of smart remotes. They do wonderful things to take home entertainment systems, comprised of a disparate jumble of mismatched devices, and turn them into peaceful entities that work together for the betterment of your living room — you half expect doves with olive branches in their mouths to fly out of the box when you get one. Alas, there are neither birds nor branches included with the company’s latest entrants to the series, the 600 and 650 announced two weeks ago , but still they offer the best value amongst the current Harmony lineup.
