It'd make downloads to my Apple TV go a lot faster, and if I would decide to go for the TV package, I'd be happy that their HD isn't as horribly compressed as cable. I'm not holding my breath for them running fiber to my apartment, and I'm also pretty sure you have to be a billionaire to own a house in the Bay Area. So now my plan is to become a billionaire and/or move back east. If FiOS were available in my building, I’d sign up today.

FiOS will eventually kill their business model, Blockbuster too. But that's another blog post...

For people like me (and I'm assuming you), a pop-up ad is more like a sponsored negative review. Safari's pop-up blocker usually pwns, but yeah as someone who uses multiple platforms/browsers it is really annoying to deal with this stuff. It's ridiculous (but unfortunately not surprising) that big brands are still buying and selling such annoying ads. …and now I’m even less likely to subscribe to Netflix.
