I believe he meant pictures as in image quality improvements not movies (which is a rather obscure slang, but one I came across before)

There is some room for improvement of display quality, I suppose, but not a lot, at least in my retina's opinion.

Small devices have the highest quality displays because its easier to make it small and the ROI is higher.

Scaling it up to 24+ inches is harder... So there is definitely room for improvement.

It was a double-meaning.  How about them apples?

Still no cable for this one. Don't miss it either. There's nothing worth watching on the boob tube anyway so why bother.

That would stump me - and I am a long way away from being young.

Cut the cable years ago and have no regrets. Most networks host at least some of their shows online. Some networks like CBS are very good at it. Their stream quality drops at times (in my region) but shows are often available within an hour of airing. Adverts went from one per show to like 12 or more. Clearly there is growing market for online viewing. But some dolts don't host their shows online. Or they show just the latest episode.. delayed for one to four weeks after airing. History, NatGeo, and Discovery all suck like that. If you miss a show your SOL. They were my old favorites. Mostly lost to me now.  FXnetworks is the worst. All their shows are a no-go. They are outright rude and hostile about it. But mostly i find everything i want to watch legally online. The netflix service has soured for me big time the last couple years. But i think is still worth the money. Haven't tried Apple TV and i'm not interested in pay-per-episode viewing. Won't pay for but a few rare movie viewings. No more than $30 a month am i willing to pay for the quality of these moving pictures. Tried a trial of the Amazon service but didn't like the UI enough to sign-up. But it, and others are there if ever i want them. Fick cable.

i'm really surprised about how slow the migration to internetTV has been. We've been playing at it for over ten years now! And it has grown much but is yet still far from potential. Some big money interests have meddled in attempt to protect cable revenue. They hold back their networks from participating fully online. They protect cable money. For internet revenue they are only looking to capitalize on a minutes worth of commercial for 2-3 minute "extras" clips. The internet is under-utilized. For more than just moving picture viewing. Things go viral on the net like never they did in the analog age. A social buzz is easy to foster but i see so few bothering with it. Mostly they just dump stuff online and let the internet do it for them. Thereby missing opportunities to exponentially balloon the buzz.  

And adverts.. my gosh they suck! Some shows are totally overrun with them. Every few minutes there is story interruption  Shows are being written around commercial slots.  Story telling gets big limits. And these one-minute drug adverts have got to go! The 15 second commercial is the most impactful. More of the peoples attention will remain till the end. More message is received. Course there is more to it and adjustments need be made. These adjustments come regardless. They all want the biggest slice of the pie they can get. We've reached a point where the pie is not big enough for their appetites. The time of the gorge ends simply cuz there ain't enough to go around no more. Top earners will have no choice but to take smaller cuts. Excessive finance schemes and shareholder revenues and influence will be down-sized. There is plenty money to keep a modified capitalist economy thriving. But this current paradigm is one an end run. It's busted and the final break will be spectacularly painful if we let the change happen to us rather shape it ourselves. This change on our terms will not be comfortable nor easy, but will be far less painful and destructive than accelerating into a wall.
