No Apple Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Planned?
A USA Today article provides comments from Apple's Phil Schiller indicating that Apple is not going to be competing with TiVo in the Digital Video Recorder market.

Schiller claims that adding video recording to the Mac mini would make it "too complicated":
"We're not trying to replace the TiVo," he says. "This is about taking the media from your computer and accessing it via the TV."
