Posted on Slashdot today is a post reiterating the rumor of Apple’s interest in acquiring TiVo. Since the rumor hit the streets yesterday TiVo’s stock rose more than 17%, which is a significant jump from the tech company who has been receiving strong competition from cable providers Time Warner and Adelphia – due to the similar DVR features -. Keep an eye on this one the match makes sense and Apple has been on a role as of the release of the IPod. Apple Computer Inc. is a low risk stock and TiVo – at the moment – is also low risk. So if you are someone - like my father - who is weary of tech stocks, this could be a good opportunity to do some experimenting. I would still wait a bit longer to see if any new news generates and the possibilities of other companies hunting after TiVo.

UPDATE: See I'm not the only one thinking about this Gizmodo's Connecting the Dots.
