But then you had 50 crap channels you never watched along with the 5 that you did. Now there are 240 crap channels to go along with the 5 that you watch. Oh wait TLC is all reality shows and Discovery is pseudoscience crap so there are only 3 channels you watch now. But hey you have over 240 channels with nothing on now.

Home users are on IPv6 because it has been enabled by default since at least Windows Vista. That doesn't mean that their internet connection can handle it as the providers are more interested in finding new ways of throttling traffic and extorting money out of service providers to bother with making improvements to their networks that most customers won't notice and haven't asked for.

When we get to autonomous vehicles, the nay-sayers are are already worrying about how this would permit alleged felons to drive off form robberies all the while taking pot-shots at the police (not having to drive, and all).

Perhaps, but that self-driving car is going to be obeying all traffic laws while making the getaway, including stopping for said police.

it won't be long before we are forced to install antivirus in our cars : /

Lets hope it doesn't make them run significantly slower ;-)

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (707 hp, capable of 10 second quarter mile times with the sole modification of using race tires. And if you can keep your foot off the gas pedal you can get about 20 MPG) + McAfee Antivirus 2016 Automotive Edition = Prius-like performance @ 10 MPG

Nothing is going to happen until they get sued.

Nothing is going to happen until (1) a senior officer at GM has his car hacked, (2) a very public hacking makes security a point on which automakers compete, or (3) they get sued.

Correction: They get sued after multiple deaths have occurred as a result of lax security resulting in a penalty in the hundreds of millions of dollars. (This is not unique to GM, All of the manufacturers will react the same.) You can strike 1 and 2 from the list.
