Tivo your software crashes

Tivo inspired a group of programmers to create a tool that is useful for helping programmers fix pesky bugs in their applications. The tool records the code that an application executes and provides the ability to replay it back.

Mr. Lindo says he and Mr. Daudel found themselves overwhelmed by bugs they couldn’t find while working together at an Internet start-up in 2002. “We were spending almost all of our time not fixing the issues, but trying to get to the point where we could just see the issue, and we said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could just TiVo this and replay it?”’ Mr. Lindo recalls.

Seems like a pretty useful product. Once they get the fast-forward feature ready maybe we can use it to skip all those pop-up ads and annoying internet commercials.
