News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision
ideonexus writes "Normally when we advocate Net Neutrality, we are talking about preventing ISPs from discriminating against content providers, but in this case, the content provider is discriminating against the ISP. Is this a new dimension in the Net Neutrality fight? From the article: 'Cablevision internet customers lost access to Fox.com and Fox programming on Hulu for a time Saturday afternoon — the result of a misguided effort on News Corp.'s part to cut off online viewing as an alternative in its standoff with the cable operator over retrans fees. Fox stations in NYC, Philadelphia, and New Jersey went dark at midnight Friday when negotiations between the two broke down.'"
You nerds wish you had a handle on the truth. Sadly, you are sometimes just brainwashed little Republican numbskulls...because you want to be like your parents.
Firefly topped at like, 98th in the ratings. Dollhouse? Didn't do much better and it stayed put for two seasons.
Serenity's boxoffice draw sucked.
Besides, Firefly wasn't that good to begin with.
Give me good character dramas, lousy SciFi shows about ships that are less reliable than my Hyundai Sonata just aren't interesting.

Who watches TV these days? that's right, the un-technical. Who are those? women.
I watch shows, when I want to watch 'em, not when they're streamed from some server.
Maybe in 15 years that will be the norm for boys, men and girls.. non-tech women will still watch tv until they die.
networks will have that long to switch from being network channels to youtube channels.
