Interesting article the other day about TiVo. Can't remember where I read it, but it was about how TiVo uses your viewing/recording habits to profile you, and then automatically chooses shows to record based on that profile. One guy's machine concluded he was gay and started recording shows with large gay audiences. He started recording a lot of war movies and such to try to correct his profile. Funny, but also a bit scary, especially considering the gov't's plans for "TIA". Bob
