This issue is a problem at the root of our very culture and soceity and needs addressing. It has for a long time.
I am just confused by his comments.

I personally wouldn't put a whole lot of weight in anything from Jobs' mouth when he says "Why would someone want to do that?"
He said that nobody would want to watch video on a tiny iPod screen... about a year before the iPod started being able to play video. So he has been known to misdirect and generally bash anything that isn't currently public knowledge. He says the tablet PC market is doing terribly, and yet we know Apple has been trying to build one they would be willing to sell.
