Save Money: Cancel Your Cable TV - CBS MoneyWatch.com:

And get this - Netflix video streaming comprises more than๏ฟฝ20% of all Internet traffic during peak web surfing hours, according to tech firm๏ฟฝSandvine.


My net connection really dives around 6pm. I figured it was a combo of torrents from kids, WoW, and, well, I guessed pr0n. But 6pm seemed early by any stretch for those watching pr0n to degrade the shared neighborhood connection. I'm probably underestimating the importance of torrents, but this comment on Netflix makes a lot of sense.

Netflix. The new reason for the Internet. I've got to say it makes me feel a little better about the net in general.

At least this explains why I'm finding the no-contract Android phone for $190 so tempting.

AppleInsider | Women want Apple's iPhone, men prefer Google Android, Nielsen finds:

The iPhone and devices running Google Android are the most desired smartphones in the U.S., but men tend to prefer Android while women gravitate toward Apple's iOS, a new survey has found.


Gendering? Not really. Let's face it, everything from Apple is made for Jobs. If anything, this is unfairly interpellating me via my iPhone envy into a dude who wears running shoes with mock turtlenecks tucked into jeans every day of his life, and is oddly stronger for it.
