TiVo to Pimp Their Subscribers to Amazon

Bad news for TiVo subscribers-the company is about to reach for new levels of advertising debauchery.

They should come out in October and sometime next year, respectively, though no word…

Amazon Knows Something About My Wife That I Sure Don’t

My wife-who has never browsed for power tools in her life-was greeted with this page on Amazon this morning. So does a store know my wife’s hobbies and interests better than I do? Meh, wouldn’t be the first time. Won’t be the last.

Dealzmodo: 5% Off Anything at Amazon.com

Lockergnome has somewhat convoluted way to game the Amazon system to get an extra 5% off of anything in the store, as long as it’s actually sold by Amazon.com and not a third-party retailer. It’s too long to list here, but the gist of it is that you tell Amazon you already own something, wait…

TiVo Cheats on Amazon for Disney Content

While TiVo’s offered Amazon Unbox downloads for some time, apparently TiVo isn’t opposed to playing the field.
