February 25th, 2008 : From the “Why on Earth?” files
Just picked up on this quote today from techdirt:
Anne Sweeney, the president of the Disney-ABC television group, claims: “You don’t need TiVo if you have fast-forward-disabled video on demand. It gives you the same opportunity to catch up to your favorite shows.”
I’m willing to bed that Anne doesn’t watch much TV. As far as I’m concerned the commercials on TV are getting worse not better, and seeing as the television programing isn’t much better, there really isn’t much point to watch TV, except for a handful of shows which are on once a week, and will be on DVD in another 6 months… commercial free.
But what makes even less sense, is that on Anne Sweeney’s bio page there is a link to a 300dpi profile photo. (It’s not just her, the other team members have this as well, but if you ask me, it’s weird. Although, the quality and clarity of the photo is quite amazing… …)
