Ohhhwwwwyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhhhehhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate these teaser things that websites seem to be doing a lot of now. Reminds me too much of the local news. A lot of hype for some stupid report just to get some hits on their site.

Is it worth staying up for? Possibly. I'd say its an 8.7 on the Gadget Richter Scale.

I knew it! Apple's finally releasing the iRichter!

9PM US Pacific time eh? So in about 20 minutes eh?

That's 2pm my time, by the way, it's nearly 2pm on September the 12th - bloody Apple, late as usual....

Personally, I hate it when the news comes on and says "The NWS has just issue a _______ warning, weather in 10 minutes" wtf? In 10 minutes the tornado will have already taken me to Oz, tell me now, or forget. It's like that silly tagline "Breaking News...".

Is this "Best of Gizmodo" the announcement?? If so, another pointless midnight post....

**Edit** Oh....TiVo...yawns...time for bed

Coolerking · Sep 12, 2006, 12:06 AM

Solid timing. Glad I stayed up.

MovieCutter · Sep 12, 2006, 12:08 AM

I just realized something....they say it's a review...and they never said it was an Apple product...<<hits self for reading pointless digg.com headline>>

EDIT: It's a f***ing Tivo review...the hype is too much, and the rum inhibits my judgement...

Yeah...it's their TiVo Series 3 review. Nice, but not Apple.

ReanimationLP · Sep 12, 2006, 12:10 AM

No, its for the new Series3 TiVos, which look rather sweet.

Silentwave · Sep 12, 2006, 12:17 AM

Don't get me wrong, i LOVE my TiVo, and the new Series 3 looks fantastic (eSATA for cryin' out loud!) but I wouldn't call it an 8.7 on the gadget richter scale!

I just hope that they improved processing speed. My TiVo Series 2 laaaaags with menus etc.

Coolerking · Sep 12, 2006, 12:19 AM

That was craptastic!!!!!

Old Smuggler · Sep 12, 2006, 12:27 AM

that tivo is like what 2-3 years old we were seeing pictures of that SOB a year ago
and it still looks the same
i mean yeah its great that its actually out now but when you have seen it once, well, you know the old saying

apfhex · Sep 12, 2006, 12:34 AM

The industrial design of that is kinda.... ugly.

This is JUST like that "big Nintendo announcement" last week, which turned out to be so lame, I can't even remember what it was.

spicyapple · Sep 12, 2006, 12:41 AM

In it's any consolation, I read the blog post to mean an Apple announcement as well. The timing is just peachy! Lousy writing and fever-pitch anticipation conspired to confuse readers. I had to read the post three times!

Bibulous · Sep 12, 2006, 01:03 AM

Sweet, TiVo 3.0
