TiVo Guilt?

Bad TiVo, bad. Apparently by now everyone knows what a TiVo is. They might not know what a DVR is, but they sure by golly know what a TiVo is. Sadly, there still needs to be some education on TiVo. It’s a pandemic.

With over 3 million subscribers TiVo is causing its valued costumers many heartwrenching moments. Does this sound like you: I’m running out of harddrive space, should I watch and then delete House or American Idol?

The truth is that you shouldn’t have to do either. What TiVo needs to do is sell a separate external harddrive storage unit. Then users could gracefully save their favorite shows for later viewing without feeling obligated to watch them. This is the new term that people are called the ‘TiVo Guilt.’

Sure there are plenty of third party modifications that one can install on their TiVo. Mostly all will obliterate your warranty.

Thanks TiVo for bringing joy to my life and others, but I know that you can do better. I don’t want to order pizza from you. I simply want a better viewing experience than what my cable operator provides. Don’t lose focus on your potential. Be all that you can be.

The Geekwars continue: Star Trek vs. Star Wars

Underneath every geek, lies a deep and sacred opinion. Are they a Star Trek or a Star Wars fanboy? While there have been plenty of YouTube videos about this decades old war, by far the above video is the best ever produced.

We won’t give any spoilers. Simply watch it and let us know what you think.

This battle will definitely rage on when the new Star Trek XI film is released in May 2009. The question is, will it be better than the Star Wars prequels?

First off, please let me get this off my chest – WOW! This blog, StuffWeLike.com, has just hit a major milestone. We’ve surpassed 500,000 views. That’s a pretty impressive number after the site transformed into a blog on February 23, 2007.

Half of the reason why we made the grand move was due to this widget:

The minute that it was created, that weekend I literally revamped the entire website to WordPress. I’d say that doing that was probably one of the smartest moves that I’ve made with this website. The site definitely wouldn’t be what it is today without that switch.

Thanks for sticking by and being apart of StuffWeLike’s history. Hopefully within the coming months you’ll see even more and better content than we’ve ever produced before!

Michelle Obama’s $30,000 ring

All hail the $30,000 ring! According to The Daily Mail, the new First Lady will be receiving one major present this year. Barack Obama is giving this present as a ‘thank you’ for her support during the election. This Harmony ring is made of one the most expensive metals in the world, rhodium.

According to AOL, the Obama Press Office has gone off saying that this news piece is not true.

The question is who do you believe? Is this Obama’s first cover up as newly-elected President of the U.S. of A.?

Either way, this ring is stuff that we like.

DVD REVIEW: Sunset Boulevard – The Centennial Collection

Sunset Boulevard is one weird movie. I mean that in a good way, this movie keeps you on your toes. You have no idea what is going to happen next.

The movie starts out with a dead man floating in a pool at a Sunset Boulevard Mansion. If that doesn’t immediately grab your attention than we’ve lost all hope for you. This tragic story is an inside look into Hollywood filmmaking.

Sunset Boulevard has one hell of a golden quote: “All right, Mr. Demille, I’m ready for my close-up.” Yeah it’s one of those quotes that you’ve heard before but never knew where it came from. Well now you know.

This movie defines a classic. It is surely one that most people will enjoy.

The DVD includes:
Commentary by Ed Sikov (author of On Sunset Boulevard: The Life and Times of Billy Wilder)
Sunset Boulevard: The Beginning
The Noir Side of Sunset Boulevard by Joseph Wambaugh
Two Sides of Ms. Swanson
Stories of Sunset Boulevard
Mad About the Boy: A Portrait of William Holden

The Simpsons Apple

Every now and then The Simpsons comes out with an amazing episode. Last night’s was just one of those magic moments.

The Simpsons finally attacked Apple Fanboys. Thank God for that!

Do I like everything Microsoft does? No.

Do I hate Apple? Yes. Watch the video above and you’ll understand why I do.

I think the two even themselves out in the end.

What do you think of the episode?
