Tell the UK Gov’t What You Think Of Entitlement (*cough* ID *cough*) Cards

The UK government is proposing compulsory “Entitlement Cards” for its citizens. They’re claiming they have received huge support from the populace. But those fine folks at STAND (who know how to make an impact on government policy) think that perhaps the public should have more of a say, so have created a three-step process to give your input.

TiVolutionary

Tivo announced some upcoming new features at CES today. They look extremely useful (although I’ve had remote scheduling for a while now). Being able to play the MP3s on my PC through my living room sound system would be pretty kewl.

However, the new features will only work with the “Season 2” TiVos, so the big question for me now: Do I splash out a very reasonable $150 to upgrade to a refurbished unit, or should I hold out until the HDTV TiVo is released “later this year”?

And do I just have too much disposable income, or what?

Money for Nothing

Looks like a large proportion of the $8.8m settlement available to anyone who’s bought a CD in the last decade is still up for grabs. It’s well worth signing up for—You either get $5, or you help donate millions of dollars to charity.

And no, it’s not a hoax
