I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whoah. AT&T is buying T-Mobile (in the US) for $39 billion.

I am hoping government regulators won't let the deal go through, but I'm a realist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, fuck no. I hate AT&T. They've been some of my worst customer service experiences by companies not named Dell. I am bitter still. I hope they don't jack with what I don't hate about T Mobile.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I hope AT&T is buying it because they don't want to steal outright the T-Mobile business model.

So, there was this thing called pyTiVo that I was using to transcode stuff so I could copy it to my TiVo. And then Vuze had this thing where it would transcode and share for you, and I could copy it to my TiVo. And then I noticed an entry in Vuze for my TV, and now I can stream directly from my laptop to my TV. Like, right from my laptop to my TV. I don't even have to take up storage space on my TiVo anymore. I don't have to install a new app.

I LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE.

What kind of TV?

Oh yeah I guess that's more the point? I misunderstood.
