Comcast is unquestionably the most disreputable company in the history of the universe. I have been screwed over and lied to so many times by these shysters (on four separate accounts at three different service addresses). When CenturyLink ran fiber in our neighborhood, I couldn't wait to switch. What cost $250 from Comcast (for a decent TV package, home phone, and 350/12mb Internet) now runs roughly half that for unmetered gigabit Internet, Hulu Live, and Ooma.

1TB of data seems like a lot, but we were bumping up against that continuously and that was before we were streaming IPTV.

I love that we're paying half as much money for much better service, but giving Comcast a gigantic middle finger was the best part of the deal. I'll go back to AOL dialup before those crooks ever get another penny from me.

In over 20 years and Thousands of both Mac & Windows Users I have serviced, I have yet to meet ONE person who wants or needs to run Windows on a Mac. It's two separate Worlds plain and simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise is FUBAR.

Perhaps you need to get out more?

Up until I changed jobs in January, I literally ran Windows in a VM every day. Now I don’t have the need for Windows very often, but I do run Linux-based applications inside Docker containers every single day.

A large percentage of developers do the same on their Macs, so you can’t discount the need to virtualization technologies.

Raises the question, how much Apple software will be ready to go by November 10?

I'm waiting to find out if there will be any way to run x64 software virtualized. I run a lot of server tools within Docker containers, and losing this would likely force me (and a lot of other developers) on to commodity hardware running Linux...

Despite poor reviews, I actually rather enjoyed The Fugitive. There are other shows that look interesting, but I just don’t find the time to watch them. Ironic, considering the platform.

Well that’s stupid. I do mostly use control center, but the app does something I find very useful that isn’t in control center. The app has a details label you can tap that’ll show you what’s currently playing with a slider showing the content length and the current position.

AFAIK, this isn’t something you can do with control center and it’s nice to see what my kids are watching, or how much time is left on my show without bringing up the playback position on-screen.
