You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I guess the FCC's next move will be to cancel HDTV, just in case someone might attach a VCR to their set.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, now that is an example of technology being used for the betterment of mankind.
Time for me to get a network thingie for my TiVo....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh! I'm downloading that widget as soon as I get home!

Nothing to do with TiVo - just a TV schedule.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have the wikipedia widget (slow, and not much point if you have a web browser open, but still fun) and a couple weather ones up.
