Apple is boring.... Apple needs new features to make Apple TV exciting At 33, I just really don't care. Although I still find the majority of advertising to still be a despicably strident form of media, I can't work up the energy to continually decry an industry that will never, ever go away. My defense has become to just tune out, divert my attention, and the commercials become invisible. Which is why the latest rumor for Apple's supposed HDTV set left me numb. Former Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Lessin recently said that Apple's upcoming TV service will allegedly have ad-skipping technology that will automatically omit commercials from programming that was recorded live. Rather than having to fast-forward through the ad breaks, the content will be viewable ad-free. The service will reportedly be part of a premium membership that viewers will pay Apple for, and in turn, Apple will compensate the sponsors whose ads were skipped. More at: lohud.com o~~~ O
