Daisy,

Have you ever found yourself listening to radio in the car, and had the sudden realization that you can't fast-forward through the commercial or advance to the next song because the current one sucks? This has happened to me several times recently, and made me wonder at some point of someone would create "Tivo for Radio" that would record the last 30 minutes of all your favorite radio stations so you could "back up" and hear the beginning of something that you'd just tuned into.

However, what it really points to is that live radio takes control out of my hands that I've grown accustomed to with having an iPod/MP3 player. I now *expect* to be in control, and it surprises me when I'm not. I'm similarly frustrated when I sit down to watch a non-DVR'd movie or show, and can't zip past parts that don't interest me.

The nature of some events takes this control away from you. You can't, for example, just fast-forward through a bank robbery or car accident, see how it's going to turn out, and hit pause. Life, sadly, can't be DVR'd this way. Video, however, begs for this kind of control, and the popularity of DVRs in general has shown this. It parallels the usage patterns of iPod/MP3 users in that once they go down this path, it becomes a sea-change for them.

The risk for Hulu, I fear, is that they don't get this fundamental change of the control model. The "democratization" of media, if you will. They want to control as many aspects of you viewing the content as they can, and people seem to resist this.

The "control genie" is out of the bottle. I'm not sure that mainstream media is going to be able to stuff it back in, regardless of how they try. - Tim

Yes, and it will come down to a balance between the amount of viewing time they want to force us to watch (such as ads) versus the time it takes us to hack a copy of the media without the restrictions.

If the constraints are too severe, we'll go to great inconvenience to crack them. But if it is convienient to use the media where and when we wish, most folks will accept a bit of forced attention.

The problem with many big-media monoliths is that they want to use the new technology to increase their control to be greater than it has been in the old channels, but when it comes right down to it the real new power is mostly on the consumer side. Any media that they want to let us experience can be cracked somehow. Someone will do so and package it up for everyone to use.

Thanks for posting this. Would be intrested to read more or possibly please contact me by email thank you!

Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .,, Amazing …

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little homework on that. And he in fact bought me lunch because I found it for him

Informative information and excellent posts you have!

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

That's great.very helpful,thanks a lot

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Thats great just what i was looking for

In the article we will examine the full range of Replica Leather Handbags and their goals. Spending a few hundred pounds in a Prada or Gucci is fantastic, but often it happens and have a bag, all of their practical applications on a daily basis to keep, is probably not the case here, we talk about what types of bags you might need.

I love the way you write and also the theme on your blog. Did you code this yourself or was it done by a professional? I'm very very impressed.

Couldnt have said it better my self!

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

David I know what you necessarily mean dude. Oh how times and tastes have modified ;D

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog like this one these days.. :)
