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.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
