Well, if the cable companies don't smarten up they will end up making a lot less money in the long run. I dropped my cable package 6 months ago. I have basic cable + 6mb internet access. I added a rocku box to my tv and I'm not looking back. Works fine. My wife can watch her HGTV stuff when she wants, other shows are available on free Hulu or Crackle. I am thinking about dropping basic cable and just leaving internet. I will grab whatever channels I can localy.
I only watch 2 shows really.. Big Bang Theory and Fringe. Most of the time I've been listening to my music through a tube amplifier. Wow what were they thinking when audio went to solid state. Tubes add texture to sound, I thnink solid state amplifier filter way too much of the original recording.
A planet was driven by an ancient computer system, it solved all their issues. The planet was home for a bunch of humanoid retards. I don't think this is a good application for a computer. We need to be able to do our own research, remember by our mistakes, etc.
A computer should be a research too... i.e. build mathematical simulation modules, not hold all the medical research text and have answers to our queries.
This will cause mental atrophy. It's bad enough that most of us suck at spelling and math now. Let's not suck at logic and reasoning too.

it wasn't too long ago when there were infected apps in the Android market. This is a good security move.

If you sacrifice liberty for security you have neither.
