...is that none of the people who can make these decisions have ever experienced going through security checkpoints at the airport. And until they do so, they will continue to have no clue.
Recently dropped cable and went with an indoor antenna. I live in an area where over the air TV reception is great, and getting network and PBS on HD is a breeze. As others have noted, this part is probably the diciest because not everyone gets great reception, and not everyone is satisfied with the over the air offerings (i.e., live sports, cable-only programming).
I supplement with Netflix and ESPN3. It's not the same as cable TV, but, my wallet says "thanks" every month.
More like blame the generals who shot spreadsheet "simulations" back and forth instead of large scale wargames to shake-out the technology Ah yes, they were using smarphones with built-in Excel viewers, except they forgot to scroll to the side where it said, "just kidding!"
In my personal experience with a Nokia E61, having tactile feedback on the keyboard really meant nothing, because I still had to look at which keys my thumbs were pressing. Because without looking, my thumbs would constantly press the wrong keys. It's the same with the iPhone, but at least it has a spell checker that corrects some mistakes.
With the E61, I hated writing e-mails on it; I'd actually used it mostly to read e-mails, then come back to the office/home and use my laptop to write responses. With the iPhone, I don't do that anymore; I respond (if/when necessary) on the device.
I guess I'm the opposite of you. I tried Linux, mostly fedora, and found that if you wanted to configure some things, the settings were ALL OVER the "start" menu. Want to change the network setting? It's under one menu. Want to change the window behavior? It's under yet another menu. Not to mention it's installed utilities for both gnome and KDE and I have NO IDEA which to use, because they change different things slightly differently.
My impression of linux is that if you like to customize, it offers a million ways to do that. If you're an expert in linux, it's no problem. But for people like me, who just want to get work done, figuring out which utility is under which menu, let alone which to use among the myriad of utilities, is not something I want to spend my time on.

Because CIQ is providing information to the FBI. Therefore no "outrage."

Considering the article is written for an Australian website, "authorise" is indeed the correct spelling.
