Several hacks won prizes from sponsor companies, while five of the best scored “best in breed” prizes. Out of those, one was chosen as the grand prize winner on Monday at the TVnext Summit: Twivo, a clever hack that lets you watch DVR-ed television programs without worrying about your “second screen” ruining the show when you check Twitter only to see the show’s ending given away. Simply enter the name of the show, and Twivo (short for “Twitter for TiVo”) will block all mentions of it from your Twitter feed, while also syncing your Twitter feed so that tweets show up when they would have during the show’s original airing Twivo was created by the only female participant at the event — and the only minor.

He still lives in Miles City. One of the great Microsoft geniuses of our time, he gave so much and asked for so little. Out of respect for his privacy, I will not name him here. But his fame throughout Custer County and indeed, southeastern Montana (he once told me he had to turn down work with a Fortune 500 company in Hysham as they would not agree to his terms and conditions), is fabled throughout the land.
