I use windows boxes all the time every day and have since windows 3.1 and I've never used cortana.

I don't know of anyone who has. Ever.

I saw somewhere someone explaining that the massive cash flow from the "old" way of paying for content, namely high cable TV costs people used to have to pay for their 3 channels they actually watched - in addition to all the commercials the pay-tv people also had to watch, was a steady and reliable stream of cash that made its way to the content producers.

But since the big bundle pay-tv model is dead there is a huge drop in cash flow to content producers and this is making a massive change in normal operations inevitable.

That may be what's happening now.

I don't think the studios have any money.

If reddit doesn't have to then why would an ISP?

This is precedent setting.

Sheldon Cooper? Yeah people wonder if he's human, but his mother had him tested.

I once heard it explained that gimps programmers goal was to make a program that can edit pictures. Their goal was not to edit pictures.
