TiVo can predict "American Idol" losers. (Goodbye Syesha!)

The guess is based on fast-forwarding statistics.

    TiVo and privacy

    Great, another way for a corporation to use what should be private data. Glad to see they aren't as smart as they think.

    When you sign up for the Tivo service you are made fully aware that they may monitor what you watch. It's no different than the Neilsen rating service, if you agree to hook up a box to your TV you agree to let corporations know what you watch. If I felt what I watched needed to be some secret, I'd just not have a DVR.
