My favorite part of this car is the fact that the exhausts fire upwards right behind the driver’s and passenger’s heads.

Now, now. Remember that these corporations are people too! They have rights, just like the rest of us, except the founding fathers forgot to give them voting rights!

Well, he found that “contrary to what has been widely speculated, the Xfinity traffic is not delivered via separate, dedicated downstream channel(s) — it uses the same downstream channels as regular internet traffic.”
Because of this, it means that the mixing of Xfinity services (at least this one app) and internet traffic occurs outside the home IP network, and not inside your home network. What the problem described details is that it appears as if Comcast is effectively adding bandwidth to your connection when using their services, causing their other products to have an unfair advantage over competitors. This would be OK, except for the fact that in many areas, Comcast has a monopoly on high-speed internet services, so they shouldn’t be allowed to use their monopoly in one industry (ISP) to unfairly compete in another (IP Video services).

It’s always awesome when business sense and our rights coincide, and we see that here, and with SOPA. However, what happens when it makes sense for a business to back a piece of legislation that we don’t agree with? Many online companies like CISPA, because it releases them from liability when the government invades our privacy. Do we vilify them? Or should we understand that they’re making decisions in their own defense?
