Tech News, It Just Keeps on Coming

What Technology WantsNow for the news I was too busy to talk about or just did not care about enough to think up a bit: Tech Edition

Netflix lost its deal with Stars! to provide programming for Netflix's instant streaming services.  Stars! says that they are looking for, like, you know, more in a relationship and they just don't want to get serious right now.  It's not you, it's them Netflix.  Rolling Stone

Overdrive, the ebook lending service, unveiled its school library service.  Overdrive will continue dealing with libraries as long as they are viable, then move onto your younger cousin, transforming them into dangerous creatures of the night who will feast on the blood of the innocent.  Or is that vampires?

The United States Justice Department has moved to block the merger of AT&T and T-Mobile citing monopoly and free trade and stuff.  I am not smart enough to understand this, but I hear that T-Mobile will probably die out and become the property of a larger company.  Ya know, for kids.  NYTimes

AT&T Will Save You From Too Much Internetz

The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood
When AT&T eliminated their unlimited data plan last year, we all knew that was all they were gonna do and just build their awesome network.  Right?  Nope.  Now they have announced they will begin throttling back the usage of heavy data users.  No cap has been set, but they have said they will warn you when they do it.  Plus, it'll only be for the month you do it in!

Aw, ain't that so nice of them.  I mean, it's not like its a punishment for holding on to a phone I really like just to keep a plan that makes sense because I am constantly using my phone in my everyday life.  I mean, I know that pushing emails from my small business server while I run around trying to drum up business in this weak economy is taxing AT&T's network, but I don't care because I am just a child that needs to be slapped on the hand for using a service I pay for.

I'm a jerk.
