  • Thinksecret: video iPod debut near

    Thinksecret maintains Apple is (still) nearing the release of the “real” Video iPod:

    Apple’s forthcoming “true” video iPod will feature a 4-inch display with a quarter-inch border, allowing the device to maintain dimensions typical of previous iPods, further sources have confirmed. Think Secret first broke word of the upcoming touch-screen iPod in early February.

    That initial report pegged the new iPod’s display at 3.5-inches, but reliable sources say that after considering both 3.5-inch and 4-inch prototypes, Apple has settled on the larger iteration for production.

  • CNET: TiVo to tighten grip on children’s viewing

    Cnet seems to have a lead on today’s big announcement from TiVo:

    In a new twist on helping parents control what children watch on television, TiVo will announce today a service that lets its video recorders limit children to watching shows approved by one of two groups promoting family programming.

    Parental controls have been built into most television and cable set-top boxes for the last decade, allowing parents to limit their children’s viewing to shows that have certain ratings as assigned by the networks. TiVo as well had a parental control system based on these ratings. Many digital cable boxes offer even more options, letting parents select individual programs to block.

    The showings, priced at $5.99 each, will be launched on March 22.

    Hands tired of typing? Let your feet do the work.

  • Mike Schmidt: Pete Rose lacked remorse about gambling

    Mike Schmidt: Pete Rose lacked remorse about gambling:

    Schmidt, who attended Rose’s meeting with Selig in November 2002, details the session in his book “Clearing the Bases,” published Wednesday by Harper Collins and due to be in stores by mid-March.

    “Pete’s confession lacked one major thing in Bud’s mind: remorse,” Schmidt wrote. “I spoke to Bud later, and he told me he got the confession he had expected, but not the expression of genuine remorse he had hoped for.”
