I experienced some bad crashes under Leopard in my first week after upgrade, including: keyboard hangs http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5787571 & crazy jumping pointer http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5869864 but after the 10.5.1 update & a good old-fashioned PRAM reset, it's been stable for at least a week! uptime 21:30 up 8 days, 4:49, 3 users, load averages: 0.16 0.22 0.24

TiVo Selling Data on Users' Watching Habits 244

Posted by Zonk on Sunday February 04, 2007 @03:19PM from the that-little-antenna-guy-is-watching-you dept.

Gyppo writes "The San Francisco Chronicle reports that TiVo is collecting and selling data on what parts of broadcasts people are rewinding for review and what commercials they are skipping. The data collection is part of a service the company provides to advertisers and television networks, collecting anonymous data on their users' commercial-watching habits. The data they provide is a random subset of their overall userbase, detailing which commercials are skipped and which are actually watched. The article mentions the possibility for privacy abuse, but with this application of technology Tivo is not providing access to what any one individual user watches via the service."
