AT&T/Verizon vs. Cable Companies?
Content Producers vs. Youtube?
Hollywood vs. Everyone
And lastly, what seems like it should be a war, but will probably turn into a partnership (a.k.a. big ass monopoly): AT&T/Disney and Comcast/NBC?

If Plex + Mac Mini is a working combo, then I think I finally have the last piece I need to cancel my cable TV.

For some reason i can not listen to Wale.

What matters is that you want to see and make and do, on as grand a scale as you want, regardless of what the tiny voices of tiny people say. Do not be critics, you people, I beg you. I was a critic and I wish I could take it all back because it came from a smelly and ignorant place in me, and spoke with a voice that was all rage and envy. Do not dismiss a book until you have...
