I'm not too sure about that. Cable TV is controlled by monopolies but people can easily choose between competing streaming services.
Netflix, Amazon, and others provide paid streaming services without any advertisements. If you don't like one you can easily switch to another.
Youtube, Hulu, and networks' own sites like NBC.com stream content for free with advertisements. People aren't going to pay for something they can already get free.
No, I don't use sleep, hybernate, or hybrid boot. I use plain old shutdown because it only takes 10 seconds to power on and log in. I have Windows on an SSD with 550 MB/s read speed and an i7 4770k overclocked to 4.5Ghz.
I use 8 not 8.1. The only real noticeable improvement over 7 is startup time. My PC boots up in 10 seconds. It is on before I finish turning on my monitors.
The full screen start menu bothered me at first, but I actually like it better now. Pretty much everything else is the same as Windows 7.
A lot of people complain about the metro stuff but they are just being stupid. There is nothing forcing you to use the metro apps on a PC, just use the desktop versions.
If you're building or getting a new machine I would put 8 on it, but I wouldn't upgrade an existing machine form 7 to 8.
If you look at the actual polling they didn't differentiate people that actually attend business meetings or really define what qualifies as a business meeting.
If you look at how many 20-somethings are still in school, unemployed, under-employed, or just doing some type of non-office work you'll see that a business meeting is something completely different to them.
Most people on slashdot probably think of a business meeting as a project manager meeting with some technical people in an office meeting room, but most people aren't working in an office as technical people or project managers. A business meeting for someone that works as a waiter or cook at a restaurant could be the manager taking 5 minutes to talk about upcoming catering events in the morning before you start doing work.
The reason LCD motion is blurry isn't because the response time or frame rate is too slow, it is because the image persistence.
Just take a look at OLED screens in the Galaxy S3 and S4. There is still a lot of motion blur despite near instantaneous response times.
They can solve this fairly easily with OLED by only displaying each frame for a millisecond or so, the only problem is that when you display it for a shorter time the image isn't as bright so they'll need to be a lot brighter during the blink.

You've been using the wrong type of LCDs if viewing angles are what you care about. If you only care about image quality and not motion clarity you want an LCD that uses an IPS panel. The ViewSonic VP2770 is currently considered the best for static image quality. Although it does have pretty good motion clarity for an IPS.
Response time is not the same as input lag. Most TVs actually have pretty bad input lag because instead of displaying a frame as soon as it receives the signal the tv usually does some calculations to make it "look better". Often times this process will take several frames and do some interpolation so what you see on screen is actually several frames behind what is actually happening in the game. A lot of TVs have a gaming mode that will turn off most of the processing for a lot less input lag.
It isn't actually a problem with LCDs, plasmas and DLPs have input lag too, and there are LCD monitors that have under 1 ms of input lag.
It could still be legit though. Weren't a lot of those listed companies found guilty of price fixing CRT displays?
It seems suspicious that optical drives are so expensive despite being such old technology.

I only have .16 as much music as you, I feel so inferior with my mere 35 days worth of music I will never listen to.
I have 80gb of music and winamp works great for me.

I am having trouble setting up WINE with this. Can someone help me setup WINE so I can play Crisis on my Nexus?

You can't turn mouse acceleration off on OSX without using third party software. It is pretty bad.

SLI Titans perform much better than SLI 780s. This is because a 780 actually has dual GPUs on a single card and Titan just has one.
