Confirm Apple considering TiVo buyout

Well, looks like
these rumours were true: Apple is looking at
putting TiVo out of its misery.
Macrumors sounds a little bit too bored when they say "TiVo represents an easy buy for Apple, and could increase their options in the video field."

Apologies if I come across as too hoity-toity here but, like,
duh!
