TiVo launches remote photo and video sharing service

One True MediaLate last year TiVo announced a partnership with One True Media that would allow customers to share content from their TiVo boxes with other TiVo users. Want to show the home movies to grandma without lugging the tape all the way over to her house? TiVo's got you covered.

The service officially launched today and here's how it works:
  1. Upload your photos and videos to One True Media's website
  2. Create a personal TiVo channel code
  3. Share that code with friends and family
  4. They can add your channel to their internet-connected TiVo and your content will show up in their now-playing list.
Theoretically, you should be able to upload more than home movies. But since the content will be sitting on a One True Media server, there's little chance of a Viacom lawsuit for two reasons. First, One True Media might police the site and remove any copyrighted material (I don't know if this is the case, I'm just guessing). And second, the only people who will have access to the videos you upload are people you give your channel code out to. This isn't YouTube.

There's a free beta period for the next month. After that, you'll have to cough up at least $4 per month or $40 per year to use this new feature.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
