This is a valid point, but it's based on the assumption people actually care enough to take the time to reality check ads. I admit I only read this post and not the whole article, because I just don't have the time, but this inaction on my part proves the point people are just too busy most of the time and that ads which quickly convey important info, no matter the medium, will always add value.

Re: Mickey Mouse punches Steve Jobs in the kidney with TiVo deal

There's no way to be certain, but the result of this deal could be highly beneficial to both Jobs and Apple. First off, it's more money for Jobs, but more to the point, it's promotes the whole niche category of online movie downloading by making video content more consistently available to consumers (i.e. easier for the moms of geeks to use.)

Imagine if a consumer couldn't rely on finding The Matrix at Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, or any other movie rental spot - most would likely just not bother going to any stores at all and seek out alternatives. Avoiding this scenario for online video is definetely in Jobs' interest and the interest of many other people.

The long term competitive advantage is not in content availability, but rather in the ease of use - something I'm betting Jobs feels pretty comfortable with.

Watching this interview literally brought tears to my eyes thinking about the possibilities Ning can enable.

Assuming this worked as well as portrayed, I don't see how this is significantly better than an iPhone and why anyone would really want to carry around another device. And for the 3 people that *really* need the projector, it seems an iPhone/mobile accessory that can project more than just maps would be the smart move.
