Feds release 2010 Fuel Economy Guide, Prius still most miserly {Autoblog}

Oct 16th 2009 9:36AM You're kidding yourself if you think the Prius has the same interior comfort and offers the same driving experience as a Fusion. Just go drive one. Maybe Prius is big enough in interior volume to barely cross over the midsize threshold, but for interior noise, acceleration, braking and handling performance as well as all around comfort the Fusion is worlds better. The Prius is an appliance, a high-quality one, but still an appliance. The Fusion is a car.

Cox already testing Tivo DVRs in New England {Engadget HD}

Mar 9th 2008 5:37PM I live in Cambridge, MA and I got Tivo from Comcast a month ago. They came and brought a new DCH series Motorola box. It took them 4 attempts to install the TiVo software, then it worked for a few days, until there was a brief power outage in the building, from which the TiVo software never recovered. They were able to reset the box remotely so we could still watch TV, but with no DVR interface whatsoever. Then I got a new box and the whole story repeated a week later. Now the box would continuously try to boot up and then restart again. I ended up reverting to the old Comcast interface. Tivo did look better, but the interface was extremely(!) slow to respond to button presses and scrolling through the guide listing was painful. Also, there was no easy way to tell the percentage of space left on the hard drive, which is displayed on the main DVR screen by the regular Comcast interface. Dolby Digital was gone too. This is not really a service ready for public launch. You are not missing much by not having it!
