TiVoToGo for Mac announced... by Roxio

Well, apparently TiVo developers had pretty quickly figured out how to move recordings to a Mac, but creating a program that would let you play those videos on an iPod or burn them to a DVD was a bit much. So TiVo secretly partnered with Roxio, makers of Toast CD burning software for Mac.
TiVoToGo for Mac is not a standalone program, like TiVo Desktop for PC. Rather, it's built into Toast Titanium 8, which will set you back $100 (although there's currently a $20 mail-in rebate). Toast will let you transfer recordings and burn them to a DVD. It will also drop files in your iTunes directory to be transferred to an iPod.
But with a price tag of $100, I'm guessing some folks out there are just going to stick with the unofficial TiVoDecode Manager for now. It may not be as pretty or as functional, but you can't argue with free.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Those bastards! They put the TiVoToGo functionality into Toast on purpose - they want to get the extra revenue, or they are paying royalties to TiVo. If they had put it into Popcorn (where it would have made 100x more sense) I'm willing to bet it would have been more of a popular move.
It's nice to see them make good, albeit in a half-assed way, on their promise. But it's too little too late. TiVoDecode Manager rocks!
