That all sounds great when the outside temperature is "temperate". But it gets very cold outside, and all those "saved" watthours will get sucked up by their subscribers' homes. Then what, shut down the datacenter until things get warm again?
I've been sending DHCPDISCOVER packets for 25 years and have yet to get an offer...

The arrogance of the "We own the Glass!" and "It's OUR living room!" attitude is totally off the chain for me.
I will do everything I can to purge my environs of LG devices. Eff 'em.

with the little monkey playing his cymbals. Do do do do do... D'oh!

Like anybody needed another reason to hate Comcast. Sheeh.
