\Maybe it was just a business editor with a sense of humor... but in any case the layout of two media stories side by side in today's times has a 'connect the dots' feeling to it.

First - there is the headline "With Popcorn, DVD's and TiVo, Moviegoers Are Staying Home"

It begins: "LOS ANGELES, May 26 - Matthew Khalil goes to the movies about once a month, down from five or six times just a few years ago... (he instead) prefers instead to watch old movies and canceled television shows on DVD.
He also spends about 10 hours a week with friends playing the video game Halo 2. And he has to study, which means hours on the Internet and reading at least a book a week." Uh, oh... maybe he's not going to go to the movies!

Then there is this article - on the same page. As TV Moves to the Web, Marketers Follow Which begins "TELEVISION programmers are looking to make the Web a lot more like TV."

I won't spoil the surprise. But if a=b, and b=c - the... you get the idea.

And I'm not even going to linke to the notice that Tivo narrowed its loss to just a penny a share.

Tivo. Home Entertainment. Advertising Revenues. TV on the Web. A good day.
