He says, "People value content. A Pixar movie is a Pixar movie and people know that and so they are going to pay for that and ascribe a great deal of value to that."
No Charlie people are not willing to pay for it one way or the other.
Remember the many, many, many complaints about China?
A buck twenty--that is what Redbox is charging and they are everywhere--sometimes two or three of them at a Walgreen's.

Ad swap?
We already do ad swap when we change the channel or mute the volume or go to the bathroom.
Now if you offered a hilarious ad then I would swap but I would not swap from a Coke ad to a Diet Coke ad (by the way well played Jason Kilar but you should have mentioned American Express too for Charlie's benefit).

So he says I sleep eight hours and I work eight hours (and that is 16 hours).
Now I have eight hours left if I am really, really, really lucky. Of these remaining eight I am going to spend four to five hours on video content?
Sorry, gotta doubt it unless I am somehow multi-tasking like watching video while running or commuting or eating or taking a bath or texting or talking on the phone . . .
Then I am not really paying attention am I?

"You take advantage of the group intelligence." You buy textbooks already annotated.
Well then . . . this comment section must be priceless.

Content? You have got to be kidding me.
There is no lack of content.
The problem is finding good content like "30 Rock", "The Big Bang Theory", "Frontline", "60 Minutes", "The Simpsons", "The Colbert Report", "The Daily Show", "The McLaughlin Group" and "Charlie Rose".
With three choices of C-SPAN there is lots of content but many times it is sleep inducing content. Though that Brian Lamb gives you Charlie Rose a real run for the money!

My college daughter likes Hulu because she can watch programs when she wants with a minimum of commercials.
My college son TiVos programs so he has the freedom to watch when he wants and cut the commercials.
I still have Comcast because I like to graze and surf. The commercials provide time for surfing and grazing.
I have thought about moving to my laptop and saving hundreds of dollars I spend on cable but I have not done it yet. In fact, I just renewed cable for another year.
My wife and I still like to share TV and streaming still sputters.

When we look into the sky, we are all humble by the creation.
There are total 48 dimensions in our universe. 36 dimensions are inaccessible to us. Our souls can access 12 dimensions (12 strands soul DNA) while this material world of plant earth limits us to only 3 dimensions (Double Helix DNA).
Knowledge is limitless, so does intelligent being.

I watched parts of an old show on Hulu the other day and I thought it worked fine. It's just like watching shows on TV (without commercial skip), altho a whole lot smaller. Its success will depend entirely on the spread of increased bandwidth and right now that's a long way off. Regardless, one thing that's for sure, OTA is limited no matter how spread.
All this choice business tho is worrisome, because, as was pointed out the other day about Google, it tends to be self-confirming; ppl never learn anything new. This may not bother Charlie Rose, who seems only interested in how to monetize things, but at some point I'd think advertisers and content creators alike would start to rebel. I'd like to add in that regard that if you consider everything in life as a matter of choice, then you have also abandoned the idea of inalienability, and with it the Declaration of Independence.
BTW, I think with e-texts reading is on the upswing, too, although I can't really say on the whole they offer anything more edifying, the primary motive of most seeming to be self-promotion.
