OT, but who cares <g> SCOUS has ruled on Aereo...what a dumb ass ruling! Aereo has a bunch of antennas and storage devices from which you can stream TV (e.g. your local sports team). Aereo's argument was that they are effectively renting "DVR+Slingbox". The supreme court however decided that they are a public streaming service, like the cable companies. Exactly how a service that is highly personalized and requires a user login can be considered a "public showing" is beyond me! The stupid decision will have bad ramifications for cloud services.
