Apple TV
So Apple pushed out HBO GO, ESPN and Sky News to the AppleTV today.
Sadly still no ability to get either of the first two without a cable subscription but it's still pretty awesome if you've still got one.
I've always been too cheap to pay for the premium channels, but having watched everything worthwhile on Netflix I called TWC to add the cheapest HBO package I could get just so I could get GO.
Turns out they added the full movie package and lowered my bill by $60 a month to the same rate I was paying back in 2003. Clearly they're feeling the pressure of the free market now that Google Fiber is just down the road.
Suddenly the NNTP protocol is a lot less relevant in this household.
