The Robot's Thoughts

This open letter over at iLounge is addressed to NBC, the makers of Heros, Battlestar Galactica, and The Office, who're pulling out from Apple's iTunes Store. Granted, he's a little fanboyish -- urging other people to stop supporting NBC -- but his point -- that people are actually paying good money for downloadable content that is broadcast everyday, for free, into the airwaves unprotected, was a pretty lucrative thing. And that people have an alternative: PVR/DVRs.

I was already considering some kind of PVR/DVR set up but I knew for most of my shows I could always snag the iTunes version of it if I missed an episode and that was a lot less mess and hassle. Now, it seems I'll have to Do-it-myself.
