I help people “watch porn”

This has to go in the CEO hall of fame, right next to about any Mark Cuban does! In a room filled with stale jaded tech journalists, Segates CEO Bill Watkins, decided to shake things up a bit.

he decided to announce 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.”

Granted, this may not be out of Mr. Watkins character. For example at CES, in Vegas Mr. Watkins was supposed to take some meetings, but instead he ordered a pizza and watched a football game. He does what he wants, because he simply can. To boost morale, Watkins spends $1.8 million of his company’s money every year on Eco Seagate, flying 200 employees to New Zealand every year to do a modified triathlon.
