Twelve Black Code Monkeys

Just a quick note to update folks on the impending partnership between Tivo and Netflix, since I wrote about it earlier. According to this article, the companies have always had close ties. I know Tivo already teams up with cable companies and satellite companies to provide units that have both the DVR and receiver in one unit, but it will be interesting to see how these various forms of content delivery and storage systems meld and overlap with one another to create a method that is optimally convenient. Then again, maybe what would be most useful would be to have different forms of content delivery and storage, giving people more choices. There are obvious pros and cons to one over another, so why not have them all available?
