cut the chord several years ago.... before that I would take advantage of direct tv's hiatus feature (stop service and bill for up to 6 months)... and then only have service during football season.
currently I use netflix... hbo now... amazing prime (but haven't used it yet).
thanks for sharing!
the Jason Raznick ted talk was fantastic... If I recall correctly Tracy Britt Cool kept contacting Warren Buffett and showed up with a bushel of sweet corn and tomatoes.... and was hired.
just finished : The Facebook Effect (found it fascinating), and The Everything Store (was evaluating AMZN LEAPS and thought I should read this... highly recommend)
currently : Zero to One (love it so far... one of those books that makes you think deeply)

28 minutes with Buffett, L. Blankfein, M. Bloomberg, R. Snyder
Tucows Inc (TCX)... CEO Elliot Noss mentioned as a small cap Henry Singleton. Since, 2006, Tucows has taken nearly half of its shares outstanding off the table... that is some serious cannibalization!

I'm particular fond of the business management software companies that offer tax solutions- INTU, BCOR - these companies have the scalable advantages of the software companies (IP), huge barriers to entry, user switching costs, and high margins.
