There are several 3rd world countries that have been hoping to pick up on China's business as it gets more expensive.
The offshoring of textile jobs is about to die.
Interesting that a Chinese company chooses the US for it's robot factory.
Talent, not labor is important.
the education resistant idiots in the US are equally screwed.
He can't prove the problems were caused by Showtime. Most likely they were caused by his internet provider.
If he actually goes ahead with the suit, he's likely to be counter sued; and he'll probably lose.
Unless he's a total idiot, he'll take the offer of a refund.
Not just Jessica Tisch, who absolutely should be fired for this.
She's deputy commissioner of information technology. Where in the world was her boss when she made this decision?
Failure to act is still accountable.
I've bought things internationally. Less than $1000 it's not a big deal. Probably an easy way to spoof the payment system. But it takes a lot of payments. Just sell as many Xbox3's as you need. If they're over priced, no one else will buy them. And, hey, no complaints.
on a different note
I needed to make a cash payment over $1000, for travel arrangements (in Italy). It took 3 trips to the bank, I had to be in person to sign, and multiple forms filled out. As an individual, international transactions are fantastically difficult. They're solving the wrong problem.
The fact that Disney stock dropped about as much as Netflix when the first round was announced, was notice investors weren't happy
Disney wants to lock up the family movies. It's their old niche.
Their other content will wither and die without broader access. Netflix can get what it wants. The content that appeals to over 12 yr olds. And Disney can try to run it's own family channel. A small loss of Netflix. Only time will tell if Disney successes.
Frankly, I doubt Disney will succeed, though it may take a few years for them to fail. And failure probably won't cost a lot. So, it's not a big risk.
Netflix, Amazon, and Google are slowly locking up the second tier market. HBO, and a couple other movie channels are surviving on original content, and the right to steam a few months before Netflix, et. al.
Net neutrality has nothing to do with this. Of the companies I've mentioned, only HBO has close connections to a major cable/internet operator. Cable companies are ISPs now. They won't risk people switching to the other main ISP if shows on Netflix start looking like crap. In most areas (by population) there's more than one ISP, e.g. cable and FIOS.
You don't post Anonymously, and your score is 0.

Your pseudo science is utter bullshit. It only proves you have no idea what you're talking about.

I have Comcast. They price it so just internet costs as much as basic and internet.
I mostly watch Netfilx and HBO. I stream HBO, not part of my cable plan. OTA holds little interest.
These days internet access is most important. The cable is just a way to get internet.
The only thing I've watched that was available OTA in the past year, was off and on a little of the Super Bowl.
Nothing on the OTA networks interests me.
There's not much worthwhile for free.
For a generational reference, I'm over 50. I don't have a land line phone. I have basic cable because it's cheaper to get basic cable and internet, than just internet.
I've had cats for decades. Each one is different.
Good luck with a generic AI dealing with that.
Feed me, and I want attention seem to be the most common, but they can be very emotive.
That and they can go from purring to gnawing on my hand in a fraction of a second. It's playful, but the intent is clear.
Sugar has paid millions to hurt, harm, etc artificial sweeteners.
It's BULLSHIT until you prove they weren't involved.
This is yet another bullshit study, with an obvious result.
oil, lead, sugar, etc. industries that have paid billions to debunk their harm.
I assume false, based on experience.
I wonder if those have considered have noted how the highest fall first and hardest.
even within a species.
not quite the same, but 1789. come to mind.
In 2002 I was working on improving the performance of our demo web site.
I started doing what came to be called AJAX. One of my co-workers did a view source of the website I developed, and got 3 lines with the launch of the.js file.
He stared in astonishment as the site ran on generated html from the javascript. The page loads were blindingly fast, because there wasn't actually a server request. All the work was being done in the browser with javascript.
The world has come a long way since then.
non stupid people, who don't believe in creationism can contest at every turn, repeatedly.
A few reasonable people can confound the system from being stupid.
every college in the state would lose accreditation if they did.
challenge a prof in class with BS - FAIL.
if it ever went to court it would be a disaster. If a school loses it's accreditation every degree it's granted is in question.
The Internet was founded by DARPA. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The internet was a military project!
It was not built to foster good things.
It actually started in Hawaii. Making a military radio network between the islands. Look up aloha protocol if you don't believe me.
It has lots of flaws.
Take off your rose colored glasses and smell the fertilizer
The case is total bull.
Legal fees can be a killer, especially for a company trying to be profitable.
Someone is using PayPal as a shill to hurt Pandora. Hopefully a judge sees this and punts the dispute and makes PayPal pay Pandora's legal fees.
my bad. can't type, or keep letters straight. I blame it on posting late at night.
I own Cisco. It's still far under performing.
I've learned my lessons. My small portfolio has far out performed all market baselines for the past 10 years.
Though I think I may need to sell a lot soon. The idiot in charge may cause a crash. Timing is the key.

Let's see some federal charges. one count for each share of stock affected.
Make them pay!

Using a Peacekeeper ICBM to launch space observation satellites, is giving new meaning to military surplus.
