DirecTV CEO Scoffs At Competition From Apple TV 264
theodp writes "In a move that evokes memories of Steve Ballmer's initial pooh-poohing of the iPhone threat, DirecTV Chairman Michael White downplayed the Apple TV hype, expressing doubts that 'Apple's interface will be so much better than DirecTVs' that people will be willing to pay for an extra box. So, will White's statement — 'It's hard to see (it) obsoleting our technology' — come back to haunt him?"

"TV, I'd like to watch 'Boardwalk Empire'"
"Mobile Tata - I don't understand boardwalk empire."
"TV, play 'Boardwalk Empire'"
"I couldn't find 'Boardwalk Empire' in your music, Mobile Tata.
"Oh fuck it, make me some popcorn"
"I'd blush if I could"
Somehow, I don't see this as working out too well
