Apple let shouldnt be shoving their politics down people's throats. 

She didn't really talk much about politics, and nobody "shoved" anything down anyone's throat; attendance was *optional*.

Obama really said nothing controversial, so if you object to her chat you might want to look in the mirror and examine why.

Right.  Because you decided not to use something, nobody else should either.  

The egocentric replies in this thread are astounding and disheartening.

Latency is a far bigger problem than actual bandwidth these days. The focus should shift to improving that.

Agree, but the current administration is working to strip the FCC from any monitoring or oversight of networks. So don't count on the issue being resolved anytime soon.

I'm usually *highly* critical of corporations and I always vote for politicians who try to reign in their power and regulate them.  That said, I can kind of understand AT&T's position here.  If you're gonna consume that much data, can you at least *try* to buffer some of it when on WiFi before you leave the house?  22Gb is a lot of data, even if we're becoming immune to the term "gigabyte".  Sucking that much down over wireless EVERY MONTH really is a bit of abuse of the infrastructure.

You can bet history wipe only removes it from viewing by the user, while Google maintains the history forever.

For sure. That's why when I'm trying to navigate home, all I have to enter is the very first character of my address and boom, on any device I use my home address pops up as a suggestion. They have everything about you stored. Forever.
