From TiVo's Press Release:

February 28, 2005 - ALVISO, Calif. - Front-runner Jamie Foxx's emotional acceptance speech after winning the award for "Best Actor" was the top TiVo moment of the Oscar broadcast according to TiVo analysis released today. In his speech, Foxx gave a heartfelt tribute to his grandmother saying "She still talks to me, only now she talks to me in my dreams. I can't wait to go to sleep tonight."

Announcements like this have become standard practice for TiVo but does it creep you out as much as me when TiVo announces viewer's habits to the whole stinkin' world? I understand that TiVo wants potential customers to know that people actually use TiVo, but please, let us watch our TV in complete anonymity.
