  on ISPs Able To Use Your Surfing Data To Insert Their Own Ads Everywhere

  This is rediculous. This isn't clearly in the terms of service, and if we've learned anything from Comcast and Facebook it's that this is a BAD idea.

  old news is news to people who close thier eyes

  on Lots Of Parents Playing Video Games With Kids… Though, That's Not What The Headlines Say

  If we were to look at industry trends on a micro level within our own lives, many of these "news" items wouldn't be news.
  
  Virtually everyone in my neighborhood as a kid played Atari and Nintendo with their parents. My grandmother played Atari with us when we were very young - The Sesame Street games only.
  
  Intergenerational sociology is nothing new. So why is this news in gaming or other digital channels?

  on Comcast Will Fire Employees For Admitting That Comcast Uses Sandvine?

  Rather than feed the hype machine, why doesn't Comcast just come clean? Their hard earned reputation is going down the drain!
