TiVo Data Collection Ramifications

Posted by michael on from the messing-up-the-business-model dept.

www.sharkdefense.com writes "Businessweek has an interesting article on a new TiVo technology which allows ad executives to see which ads are skipped on the DVRs. Thank goodness they still don't know if you went to the bathroom for a break or to the fridge. The article is an eye-opening read."

    Telvision fans are inert. Like jello that's been thrown on the sidewalk on a hot day. Or Meat that's been tenderized too much. Every day these people permit themselves to be mindfucked in exchange for a mediocre entertainment experience. They may whimper a little bit about trivial TV crap "oh, they've cancelled deep space nine!" But anyuthing that happens in the real world is completely off their radar.

    Television zombies love abuse. They suck it right down.
