Rabid TiVo Fanaticism

Posted by michael on from the evangelical dept.

surfacearea writes "The New York Times [free reg] is running an article that, without sounding like over-the-top blatant product placement discusses the reasons why TiVo owners are at times frighteningly fanatical. Personally, I won't bother to find out first hand until they slap a recordable DVD drive in there."

  1. 4/20/03 - 4 years after Columbine by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Today marks the fourth year anniversary of the Columbine High School Shootings.
    As many Slashdotters know, the gunmen were avid players of the game 'Doom'.
    If this game had not been created by a one John Carmack, then the tragedy may not have occurred.
    It has been *4* years, and Mr. Carmack has still not stepped forward to take responsibility for warping the minds of thousands of gamers, and the two who fell victim to the game anc caused 13 deaths because of it.

    For shame John, for shame.
