umm... First off, your link shows that TivoToGo is free, but it only runs on Tivo series 2 (not Windows, nor a Mac). Complaining that Roxio is charging for it is kinda silly as it is akin to complaining that Apple charges for a usb port when Tivo provides one for free.
Secondly, to make use of TivoToGo on a computer, then Tivo Desktop is required. For Windows this is free, and for OSX this is free. If you want to transfer the Tivo media to a portable device, then you need Tivo Desktop plus for Windows ($25), or Roxio 8 for OSX ($99). If you need a breakdown of why Roxio 8 is better than Tivo Desktop plus, then it might be time to start a new blog.
I think the blog is warrented. Obviously Apple is planning a big push into iPod games and Apple already starts content of slow, then works into a big show. Having EA on board for the iPod is a big push as well. It wouldn't surprise me to see analog stick adapters beign released for the iPod. Now if only Apple would make a device that hooks up to the TV where one could play iPod games. They could call it something like iPodTV or something similar....
