I could see this working out like xbox live has special gaming nights..."game with the pros" or whatever they call it...how about instead of the regular recorded and saved to disk commentaries you watch the dark knight with one of the stars or director and watch it live and see and hear what they say right when they say it...? maybe? Then for those that miss it live, the commentary is still there to watch...

"Designed to outsmart those who fast-forward through the ads"...is throwing me.

Ads coming soon to a paused TiVo menu near you

I think someone is confused. TiVo didn't JUST start putting ad's in for when you fast forward, that was introduced a few sw versions back. What is new now is when you pause it, there is a bar that you can press down to HIDE "extras". The "extras" so far are just an option to learn more about the show you are watching AND soon to be the star ad's that are already showing up on the main menu, at the end of the program (delete/keep screen) and in the showcases.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
