Why the Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger Is Even Worse Than You Think
The mere mention of Comcast and Time Warner cuddling up to form one crummy super-conglomerate is enough to send you running for the pitchforks. But this unholy union—if it passes regulatory muster—goes deeper than MONOPOLY BAD.
Here’s a few photo’s of Mark‘s new computer. Pardon the mess in the pictures we had the living room torn up moving things around.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5″ Solid State Disk Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5″ 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card Case: Thermaltake VN300M1W2N ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
This computer was a purchased to replace an 8 year old Gateway AMD Quadcore. It’s being used in the living as both my husbands primary gaming rig and our Media center using XBMC to serve up media off our home server.
We’ve built our computer, but this time we didn’t feel like the hassle. We have Microcenter about 15 minutes away and purchased all the component through them. We decided it was worth the cost ($100.00) to have them do the assembly. They Did a fantastic Job and had the rig ready for pickup within 48 hours. If you know what you want in your computer but don’t want the hassle of assembly and have a microcenter nearby I highly recommend their service.
This seriously upsets me. Comcast is a HORRIBLE company and I’ve been very much enjoying not being one of their customers. I’ve actually not had a bad TWC experience since being back here in Cincinnati. Comcast is an awful company. I wonder if I can get fiber through anyone

Watched the Bill Nye vs Ken Ham Debate. If you’re considering watching it let me summarize for you.
“Hi I’m a scientist and I believe in evidence, I implore you to find evidence that changes the world & my mind” ~Bill Nye
“Hi I’m a creationist & I will only ever believe what I want to believe and nothing you can say will ever change my mind no matter how much evidence you present me with” ~Ken Ham
