How can they write "first Trek show to air as a TV show since 2005"? I thought that in the context of television shows, the word "air" implied 'broadcast and received with antennas'. I can't even watch this on my television unless I connect some type of internet streaming box. Until this show is available over the air, I'm not interested . . . Okay, maybe I'd watch it if it was available on Netflix, but nothing will convince me to sign up for these oddball, streaming subscriptions. Maybe people on the East and West coasts of the US have enough surplus income to sign up for multiple streaming services, but normal people have to live within their budget.

I'm not going to let it auto-update, because I *do* care. You're forgetting that Chrome breaks many of the standard security policies and is a horrible product for corporations who actually care about security. I'm not willing to blindly let any software product apply updates on *their* schedule.

Firefox was unique because it gave control to the user with their add-ons. It's my computer. I won't tolerate software that changes without my permission.

Years ago, when I first encountered shows that I couldn't record, I was outraged. "What right do they have to prevent me from time-shifting my television viewing!" I complained to ATI (the maker of the recording software) - but they told me that they had no choice but to honor the broadcast flag - even though it prevented their customer (me) from recording shows. I complained to Comcast, but they told me that they were just passing on the signal from the network. So I gave up and stopped watching shows that blocked me.

Now that the broadcast flag is in the news again, I realize that it doesn't affect me directly. I'm still against the idea of limiting my viewing rights - but I haven't watched commercial television in some time. Podcasts take up all my time.

p.s. I won't buy ATI tuners anymore. A company should fight for the rights of their customers.
