Roxio releases Toast 9 Titanium for the Mac



Roxio today released their long-awaited version 9 update to Toast Titanium, their full-featured disc-creation software for the Mac.

The most notable feature updates to Toast have to do with the new realm of HD and Blu-Ray content and production. Toast 9 allows users to record high-definition content from high-definition camcorders and favorite HD programming from sources such as Tivo to a Blu-ray Disc.

With Toast, you can record pretty much anything to a Blu-Ray disc, and store as many as 12,500 music tracks and over 50,000 photos. In other words, good luck filling that Blu-Ray queue to full.

Additionally, the new Roxio Streamer allows users to stream video content stored on their home Mac to a Wi-Fi connected iPhone or iPod Touch or any Internet connected Mac or PC. We're looking forward to giving that feature a run for its money.

In order to author Blu-Ray HD content, you'll need the $20 Blu-Ray plugin. Thankfully, Roxio is offering the plugin free for a limited time.

Toast costs $99, $80 for the upgrade.

TiVoToGo for Mac announced... by Roxio

Toast Titanium 8
Mac users finally have a legit option for transferring recorded TV programs from a TiVo to their computer. PC users have been able to use TiVoToGo for two years, but the Mac version was so long overdue that it made Wired's list of vaporware for 2006.

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.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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, ...
