"An law school professor and former criminal defense attorney tells you why you should never agree to be interviewed by the police. "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc

It is an old clip and I've never been to sure about the UK use of this information regarding the Silence gives consent maxim of common law.

I agree. I've twice deleted the google+ accounts i didn't want,

getting rid of an adwords account is even harder.

1. Get a throwaway email address from gmail (or anywhere).
2. Log into your personal account.
3. Send invitation to the new email address.
4. Log out completely from all Google properties.
5. Click on the link in the email (the new address)
6. Select "I already have an account" and continue.
7. This adds the new address to your account.
8. Log out
9. Log back in with the old address.
10. Confirm the addition and promote new user to admin
11. Log out completely.
12. Log in with the new address.
13. Remove your old address from the account
14. Log out completely
15. Proceed to accept invitation to the new account. (Select "I already have an account")

It's chicken and egg for the content Vs TV upgrade. Moving from a CRT to 1080p made sense 5-8 years ago. People will not want to throw away that expensive T.V. they just bought for many more years.
Cable companies will have to upgrade or go out of business - just as ever.
The huge amounts of data will be an issue; but not many people will buy the TVs right away. Also if you can buy high end kit you've got the cash to get better data into the house. Poor people get to wait their turn - as ever.
4K Blu-rays are being made; but dead in the water as the downloads are the way to go. PCs get a sales boost as you have to update your rig to be able to drive that screen. Mmmmm more lovely tech.
Lack of content is an issue.
Waiting for the hdmi updates is an issue.
Ps4s not being able to drive basic 4k games is a missed opportunity.

The Oculus rift and Jeri Ellsworth's system for head mounted displays make 4k less interesting; but as always .... This isn't an investment. It's an expensive waste of money and fun!
