The Daily Slash: November 8 2010
A slew of tiny updates, a tiny combat on the idea that children can change your life enough to quit Facebook, and a slightly larger combat on some combative video games. Surprises like a rocket pack man, a tip that Android Gingerbread is soon coming around the bend, and a sweet stack of free stuff, free stuff that fell right in our lap. This is a day in the life of a tech publicist, take a lookie for yourself – here on the Daily Slash.SlashWOOPS Today, on Reddit, a fine young man found a loophole in the way Comcast internet connects to your home. All he needed was Comcast cable TV, a cable modem (any cable modem) and a few clever clicks later, this young fellow had free cable internet. The reason his discovery became so popular today is the same reason why he posted it in the first place: the person on the other end of his helpline when calling up Comcast to ask a question was very rude, insistent, and above all else, unprofessional. Now Comcast is destined to lose untold amounts of potential dollars while they figure out a way to close their loophole, untold amounts of dollars that could have been saved by a bit of niceness and a dash of common sense. I wont post any more details here, but I know you're a resourceful lot – have fun with it!
