Dear TiVo:
Shuddup.
I know you’re trying to make money, but we’re still not going to watch commercials just because you slap a logo on them. If anything, it’ll make them easier to fast forward through.
And what about this:
The new commercial strategy is the latest attempt by TiVo to generate ad revenue for the company, which has yet to turn a profit since its founding in 1997.
How sad is that? Maybe you should invent a TiVo that has a little tip jar attached to it or that can go online to let people contribute through Paypal donations.
