The primary exceptions are the sports leagues. MLB.com, for one, lets me watch every single MLB baseball game broadcast anywhere, at any time, (ad-free!), live or at my convenience, for an annual fee of $125. Despite that, the cablecos are *still* bidding up local TV rights into the billions. You'd think the likes of HBO, Showtime, AMC, etc would take note. There actually is a bit of a parallel with authors and publishers in that the cablecos are gatekeepers who have the content producers thinking they are indispensable. Sooner or later, disintermediation will come to broadcast but until it does we're all stuck with the dated hidden subsidies of cable packages, that take earned revenue away the popular channels and uses it to keep unpopular niche channels afloat.

Hey! Apple isn't the only "broken" company.
Guess who else is getting hammered? http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-575...ed-down-a-peg/ Quote:

"A Broken Company" is taking it too far. There computers are still superior to all other PCs and more and more people are slowly realizing that. Not to mention, the iPhone is still going to take over market share. Not saying I'd buy their stock right now though.

I'm very interested in what is going on at Dell. I hope it works out and becomes a model. |

I don't know. It will probably take awhile to sink in, but maybe someday people will realize that a portable device can't do nearly as much as a desktop (or do it as fast and as good).

And more to the point, a portable device means that you can do your less-powerful chores (almost) anyplace you happen to be. This is a huge improvement in utility. |

Someday soon, you will put your abundantly powerful phablet (OK, I said it) down near your desk, press a button on your Bluetooth keyboard, and link the device to your immersive monitors, soul shaping speakers, and other peripherals. Moore's law.
