TiVo debuts new DVR ... and other cool stuff!

I have a secret -- shhh don't tell!

Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you all about it on Friday, so be sure to check back here for all the details! I'm so excited, I want to put tape over my mouth to keep myself from blabbing(metaphorically, of course ... tape wouldn't hold me back).

I know I promised some LOST talk, but I didn't watch it yet. (Ducks from the tomatoes). I know, I know. But, see, we live in the woods and I didn't get power back from the 'wind storm' that hit our area last week until 10 minutes before LOST was set to start last night! So, I do have it TiVoed with every intention of watching it right after work, but until then, no one is allowed to talk to me about it ... But feel free to talk amongst yourselves in the comments below!

For those of you DVR geeks like me, here is a tasty batch of new headlines:

--TiVo has done it again, raising the bar on the DVR market! Now, the big question is ... When can I get mine?

--Spain has arrested three people accused of running a botnet of more than 12 million computers. Wow, I wonder what they were doing with all that bandwidth.

--India has found ice on the North pole of the moon. Pardon me for being lackluster ... but didn't we already know this?

--How cool is Microsoft's Project Natal? Pronounced nah-TAL, as I was reminded multiple times this weekend by a snarky soon-to-be-brother-in-law, is a system I've talked about before right here where you can control a video game with no controller. Think ... CGI imaging, only instantly. Microsoft is so awesome.

--Who'd've thunk it? Apparently Comedy Central is where all the scientists go to talk about their craft -- namely into chairs opposite Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Hehehe Those guys are so funny ...

--Can't be in Switzerland but was cool info from the Geneva Auto Show? CNet has complete coverage.

--We've got a ton of new stuff on Captivate.com this week:
.....I've written a review of Owl City's 'Ocean Eyes' CD, which is dreamy and meandering and wonderful.
.....We're launching a new Vermont Spring Skiing Giveaway, where, if you're in NYC, Boston or DC, you can win a trip for 2 for 5 nights to a Killington-area resort to enjoy the warm spring slopes!
.....Check out the new 'Captivate Caption' and see if you can top mine.

OMG, OMG, I'm excited about Friday's entry! Be sure to check back!
