Stardate 20010905.1228 (On Screen): What CD ripping is to the RIAA, this device is about to become to the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB). It's a device upcoming which will have the ability to capture and store TV programs, which isn't new. But it will also have a network connection and have the ability to
transfer the saved-files to computers or even over the internet. Expect a lawsuit to be filed about five milliseconds after this product is offered for sale. (Oh, and when used to replay stored TV programs, it will apparently automatically skip advertising. Maybe I'll buy one. Then I can watch
Iron Chef and
Dexter's Laboratory anytime I want.)
