BetaNews | CBS Taps TiVo For Series Preview
TiVo and CBS have created an interesting twist on time-shifted television. Instead of recording and watching the show after it airs, you can download and watch the show before it airs on your TiVo.

Microsoft announces Vista pricing
Microsoft announces Vista pricing
Microsoft has officially released the pricing for the next generation operating system called Windows Vista. With the new operation system comes new editions including the Ultimate Edition for $399. Somehow paying $399 for an operating system seems outrageous. Only time will tell how successful Windows Vista will be, whenever it debuts.

Slashdot | Podcasts of University Lectures?
Slashdot | Podcasts of University Lectures?
A staff member from "a major university in the US" sparked a debate about the legitimacy of podcasting class lectures for students if they don't come to class. With every new technology in the educational arena comes new opportunities and new challenges (i.e. email, Internet access in the classroom, forums, blogs, social networks, and now podcasts). The question of how is typically easier to answer than the question of why. It is easy to be tempted to jump on the bandwagon of new technologies and incorporate them into the classroom without determining how it might affect the institutions philosophy of pedagogy. In regard to podcasting one must assume that what you are distributing is worth listening to or watching in the case of a video podcast. If the professor/proctor lectures are available on demand, then the format of the classroom and interactivity will change. As time-shifted media becomes more common place, the attitudes of students will change. They will want what they want when they want it, whether that be music, radio, television, movies, or classroom lectures.

iPod Movies Unveiled
Rumors exist in the technology realm as much as they do in pop culture, but when Apple rumors are let out, lots of people get really excited. For a long time now rumors have been going around about Apple selling digital movies through the iTunes Music Store. How and when are the questions still to be answered. Apple is preparing an announcement on September 12 that may reveal some new products and services, but then again maybe nothing at all.
With all these changes to the iTunes product and the iTunes music store adding video, television, and soon movie content, the brand iTunes may become confusing. iPodhub.net proposes a brand name change to go into effect in stages.
