Verizon and Apple Will Hook Up

New TechCrunch article discussing analyst Verizon/Apple hookup rumors.
I agree with a few points:

Don’t listen to analysts, they are usually wrong when it comes to Apple.
Apple and Verizon are going to meet.

Where I don’t agree is that it will be CDMA. I think it will be Verizon’s flagship LTE device, to launch a new 4g network. [...]

Fixing the Place Up

I accomplished two things in the last day:

Found some nice art for banners. The ‘ol blog is now more personal.

Tivo on My Mind

Tivo gave their earnings statement today (reported by Reuters), and while it was not the end of the world, it was not encouraging.
I have owned a series 2 Tivo, and it was amazing. Incredibly user friendly, best consumer electronics remote control, great experience overall. We stopped our Tivo service when we cut our cable and [...]

More On the Microsoft / News Corp. Deal

Businessweek has an article that brings up many of the same points I had, just with more authority. I still do not see how this deal benefits either company in the long-term.
