I’ve been wanting to get a “real” TiVo box for some time, but was locked into a two-year contract with DirecTV. Until now, we’ve been using a DirecTV TiVo box, which is still supported, but these boxes only possess the base TiVo DVR features and don’t have any of the cool features of a “true” [...]

Well, I guess the launch of the new TiVo HD isn’t a complete surprise since its impending release was first discovered a little over a week ago. Although the sleuth who uncovered the leak didn’t initially blog about it, others soon found out and word quickly spread. It didn’t take long before the leaked pics [...]

Cool! We announced a partnership today with Amazon that will allow you to download movies and TV shows from Amazon’s Unbox service to your TiVo for viewing on your TV. This is one of the capabilities that I was most excited about when I joined TiVo, so it’s great to see it now finally becoming [...]

Video of Pro/E and Intralink running on Parallels. 15MB, 06:54. Quicktime 7 required. WARNING: may be mind-numbingly boring, especially if you’re not a Mac user who uses Pro/E!
As mentioned previously, installing Windows XP Pro on Boot Camp was pretty straightforward. Installing Pro/E and Intralink (the file library/management system that integrates with Pro/E) went largely without [...]

This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a really long time. I was laughing so hard that my abs started to hurt! I don’t think Judy found it quite as amusing as I did. This is a great site that anyone can upload a picture to and have some fun with.
The [...]

I’ve been longing to be able to run Pro/E (the 3D mechanical CAD software that I use for product design) on a Mac for many years, basically ever since I started using Pro/E. With Apple’s move to the Intel architecture, it’s subsequent public beta of Boot Camp (which runs Windows in a separate partition and [...]

A white version of the TiVo Glo remote is now available for sale on the TiVo store. Functionally, this remote is identical to the black TiVo Glo remote. The difference is purely cosmetic - instead of glossy black, the front and back housings are glossy white. In addition, the keys are a dark gray instead [...]

TiVo is now selling the Series3 remote as an accessory on the TiVo Store. Actually, we started selling it around Oct. 27, but I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to post about it until now. Hey, I’ve been preoccupied designing our next great products!
This remote is essentially the same remote [...]

David Pogue of the NY Times created this short video espousing our new Series3 product. The video is unabashedly corny and cheesy, but that’s what makes it so humorous, especially when you consider that it comes from one of the most respected and widely read consumer electronics reviewers. We’re definitely not going to complain about [...]

Today, TiVo introduced the long-awaited Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder (DMR). This product is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the TiVo team, and I’m excited, not only in the product itself, but because it’s shipping with my baby - the substantially redesigned Series3 remote control which represents the fruits of my [...]

I use the internet primarily from two locations, home and work. I recently made the switch to an IMAP based email system in which all my emails and email folders are stored on a central server. Regardless of whether I access my email from home, work, or wherever, I always have all my emails and [...]

This is awesome! Apple is introducing software to allow Windows XP to run on Intel-based Macs. The first Intel-based Macs were introduced a few months ago and by the end of the year, all Macs will be based on the Intel architecture.
In my line of work as a product designer, I make extensive use of [...]

Roids??? Huh? Everything about the site still looks the same. In fact it looks exactly the same. So what’s different? Well, you may have noticed that the site felt a bit different when you first arrived. You’ll likely notice a difference when you’re browsing through pics, and you’ll almost definitely notice something different when you’re [...]
