Tivo and SonicBlue Settle Dispute

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the corporations-playing-nice dept.

Shippy writes "According to this article at the Stereophile Guide to Home Theatre, Tivo and SonicBlue have decided to dismiss all patent-infringement claims 'without prejudice' and instead focus their energies on energizing the DVR market. 'We believe our energies are better spent expanding the market for DVRs rather than fighting each other,' the former adversaries said in a joint statement. The article also discusses their plans for marketing and also how they plan to respond to criticisms that the DVR market is doomed."

    Lil'LoveTM Ice Cream Cakes

    Depending how you treat'em, the little things can sometimes become the biggest moments in a kid's life. Learning to ride a bike, tying one's shoes, getting a good report card, or making the school play are all special moments that deserve a Lil'Love. Lil'Loves are made with layers of premium Carvel vanilla and chocolate ice cream, Carvel's famous chocolate crunchies and creamy whipped frosting. And, they come in a variety of fun designs like the Lil'Love Smiley Face, Heart, Original, and the NEW Stars & Stripes ice cream cake.

    You forgot: "or Wet Skin Well! OK!"

    it should read:

    Warning! Keep Out of Eyes! Wash Out with Water! Don't Drink Soap! Dilute! Dilute! or Wet Skin Well! OK!

    go to panasonic and buy one of these... screw messing with some locked in junk that will not let you archive...

    HDD storage and then you can write it out to a DVD-R. why would you buy a Tivo other than being a few hundred cheaper.
