When I and my three roommates moved into our house we rent right now, we were lucky: the landlords were just finishing the renovations, and we (being graduates with IT degrees) quickly suggested they let us run CAT5 all over the house while things were still in the "rebuilding" phase. After about 3 minutes of describing the benefits, they agreed, and we quickly got a network map laid out.
We now have CAT5, phone, and coaxial cable running to 7 rooms, all faceplated, across 3+ floors. They all meet in the basement of the house, with the chimney acting as a backbone guide. The Cable modem, router, and switch are all down there, on a custom built shelf. We run a Wireless base station in the attic for all our laptops, and have almost no visible wiring (the only visible wiring being the cat5 to the desk).
The point is if you start off from the beginning and plan for cat5 around the house, it makes it a lot easier. Granted, we had our landlords/carpenters to help us find our way into walls and floors to get it from the basement to the attic. But it works, we've never had a problem, and the house is now cleanly wired for ethernet, which our landlords love, for future tenents.
Once again this generation shows that it must take from the past to create in the present, and that a modicum of cleverness is all that is needed to be brandished brilliant today.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is poetry. This is garbage. And it's not even original garbage, just a Mad-Lib'd piece of garbage.
If Apple does indeed buy Universal, what does that mean for it's old settlement with the music label called Apple? Apple is the label that put out the Beatles music, and they have a settlement in place that says Apple Computer cannot enter the music industry, or something of the sort. If Apple does get Universal, how can Apple Music respond? I think that could be an obstacle to Apple's purchase...

So yes, a little planning goes a LONG way!

We need our own thoughts...
