While there may be some who do not share their thoughts and ideas to others, there will still be a handful of people who just say the cold, hard, truth.

In an interview conducted by CNN, a CEO said that they're building a product that helps people watch porn. Yes, there is no typo there. A CEO said he is helping people watch PORN.

Would you know who this person is? Here's a clue...

This was actually said by Bill Watkins, the CEO of Seagate.

In the article, it is said that:

At a San Francisco dinner on Tuesday evening, he was candid about his company's ultimate mission: "Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn."

He also shared his opinions on various issues:

The Blue-Ray/HD-DVD war: "Let them fight it out. They can have it. As far as I'm concerned, it's really a battle of electronic storage versus hardware."

The media: "People worry that newspapers are going out of business. So what? It's the content that's important. No one gives a s**t about the delivery mechanism. Think about mail. You had the pony express, truck delivery, airmail, email. You don't care how it gets to you. I read more now than I ever did, but I get it off my PC. I don't need to go down to the end of the driveway and pick up the newspaper. It's the content that's most important."

and

The secret to managing a board of directors: "You never ask board members what they think. You tell them what you're going to do."

Seriously, I've never seen a CEO talk like this during an interview. But yeah, it's good to know that there are still some people who tell it as it is.
