Rocketboom’d?

Todays edition of Rocketboom is a recap of CES 2006, and it’s just a flurry of images over the classic “Dueling Banjos” from Deliverance and as I was being rapidly bombarded by these pictures, at 25 seconds in one caught my eye…

Rocketboom - Monday January 9th 2006

Yeah, it’s a TiVo (enough of the TiVo lovin’ already man!) but not just any TiVo, it looks almost exactly like my TiVo Picture…

Flickr: TiVo

Flickr: Was I RocketboomNow I could be mistaken, but it does seem a little strange that they’d show a Series 2 TiVo at CES when they had a brand new, shiny Series 3 on show. And I find it odd they’d take one from the same angle and distance as I did of my own TiVo in my living room…

Anyways, I put up a little comparison on Flickr and the two do seem to match… So all I can think of is “holy smokes, I got Rocketboom’d!”
