StarTunes or iBucks...

Living a good 30 miles from the office, I work alot from my friendly neighborhood Starbucks. I use their wifi via the wonders of T-Mobile. The welcome web page allows you to download different Starbucks "mixes" from iTunes. But wouldn't it be cool if there was a pop window that displayed, in real time, the actual songs playing in the store, and you had the option to purchase that song from iTunes in real time. Hmmm.....

Tivo-zon...

Love my Tivo. LOVE MY TIVO! Bought our first Tivo in 2001 and our second in 2004. Tivo has since added features like yahoo access to photos, weather and movies, ability to listen to popular podcasts, download and watch popular videoblogs like CNET or Rocketboom, and just recently added the ability to download movies from Amazon. Which left me thinking, this is potential the tip of the iceberg. What if you're watching Oprah and she announces her new bookclub selection and you could press the thumbs up on your remote and order the book. A new revenue stream for Tivo and Amazon and maybe Oprah. What do you think?
