A few days ago, we got a TiVo that smelled \u201clike <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandtaylor.com\">Lord &amp; Taylor<\/a>.\u201d And a week or so ago, referring to a TiVo in for an upgrade, Max asked whether he \u201ccould scrape the fan and smoke it.\u201d (Fortunately, we have strict policies against breaking Federal laws while on the job.)<\/p>\n<p>So stay tuned\u2026we\u2019ll update the blog from time to time with the latest TiVo scents. And if you want to send us your TiVo, have no fear: Your secret is safe with us!
