According to the Wall Street Journal and other sources, The Walt Disney Co. is considering making some of its television content available for Yahoo’s Internet TV service.
I think it is something the forward-thinking Walt Disney would have done had he lived long enough to still have control of his company in today’s world.
What are your thoughts? Agree or disagree?

This link takes you to SlashFilm.com where they discuss an eight-page letter Walt Disney himself wrote in 1935 to the director of an art school (today called Cal Arts, where a lot of Disney future animators went to school to learn their crafts) where he was trying to encourage studying animation as an art form.
The person posting the actual documents of the eight page letter was blown away by the eloquence of it coming from Walt Disney himself, and how that resonates for films of today.

Andy Ihnatko, personal tech writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, gave the keynote address Wednesday at the MacTech conference in Los Angeles. He spoke about various features of the upcoming new version of Mac OS X, Lion, including how Apple is making it to be similar to Walt Disney’s philosophy of the experiences Guests have at Disney theme parks.
“Disney wanted to make sure park visitors didn’t have a bad time when they showed up to the parks, so instead, he went over the line and didn’t give them permission to have a bad time. In the same way, Apple is locking away and removing any parts of the computer that might cause problems in any way. Traditional users might be disappointed to lose that control, but users in general appreciate just not having to worry about settings that seem to only harm them when wrong.”
That’s an interesting insight and explains why I enjoy being at Disney parks as well as using Apple devices like the MacBook, IPhone and iPad.

This is a good place to share some of the professionally-shot photos we’re getting on our Disneyland PhotoPass PhotoCD.
It hasn’t arrived yet, so these are screen shots until we get it sent to us.
This was taken Tuesday after we ate breakfast with Minnie and her friends in the Plaza Inn.
Looks like one of us isn’t buying into the bit that Tink landed in our hands. 
I guess we thought we were on a roller coaster.
You never know who you’ll meet at Disneyland, although you can be pretty sure you’ll see Mickey there…
…Minnie, too!
Excuse me, folks… Which way to the Matterhorn?
Oh, there it is!
It was a great day on Tuesday!
Everybody wants to get into the picture!
More to come — but that was all the professionally-shot photos on Tuesday!
On our way to Forest Lawn Cemetery to see Walt’s grave, we briefly stopped to take pictures at this famed bar and eatery, the Tam O’Shanter Inn, which Disney animators have frequented for several decades.
Famed film comedian and one of Dick Van Dyke’s heroes.
This ends our photo’s of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Next, we got back in our car and headed out of Hollywood, back across Griffith Park to Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale to see Walt Disney’s grave.
