I would love to cut the cord permanently, but as a huge sports fan, the alternatives to cable aren't quite there yet.

I spent the past year streaming streaming NFL Red Zone and TNT for the NBA Playoffs using my parents's cable login info online. I casted both to my television (didn't have an HDMI out adapter for my laptop) and the quality was not on-par with HD video from a cable box, despite a 100Mbps connection. This is mainly due to the transcoding happening when casting, however, even when using the WatchESPN app on the Amazon Fire TV, I experienced similar video quality. Further, the lag between "real-time" (when I see reactions on Twitter or from my friends watching on cable) and what I saw was about a minute or two. As a huge fan who craves content now, I find that lag unacceptable for me, and hardly consider it live television.

I understand I am likely in a small minority, even for sports fans, but the current cord-cutting options are just not adequate for me. I will be adding cable service in August in preparation for football season.

NHL has a $150/yr subscription where you can watch any of your team's games... as long as they're playing out-of-market! It makes you wonder what the point of it all is.

And not on network TV. PQ is not nearly as good as regular TV, you can't easily time-shift or pause (spoiled by TiVo).

I've always started my NHL season trying NHL Gamecenter and always ended up canceling it within a few weeks and paying through the nose for Center Ice (which comes out to ~$90/mo with pre-requisite cable).

I watched the NBA playoffs on Sling TV, which had ESPN and TNT. But I couldn't watch the Finals because it was on NBC.

I wish I could watch local broadcast TV from my computer. But when broadcast TV went digital, it made it harder to get a decent signal. Partial signals on digital are a lot worse than it was with analog.

Are you in the Bay Area? NBC is on VHF and very strong through out the bay. You could pick it up with an FM T-style antenna but not the UHF bow type antennas.

Does this mean we'll get Google Now cards for non-gmail accounts now?

Google can fetch mail from other accounts via POP3. Set that up and you'll be able to get Now cards based on the email from any account.

do you really want Google to be reading all the mail on your non-gmail accounts? If you want that, you can set up forwarding on your non-gmail account to send all your mail to a gmail account, and you'll get cards.

Personally, i'd rather have the option for google to not read some of my mail.

Ha, good one

Perhaps include a way to auto-size/auto-space the resume so it can fill an entire page? I'm early in my career, and my content doesn't quite fill the entire space for most themes.

The auto-sizing can be hit or miss since it keeps font sizes relative, but there are still a few tricks that you can try. I can suggest trying the following: increase padding (under "Resume Layout"); increase nameplate and section header font sizes; use vertical configurations for the nameplate, contact, and/or skills sections; configure "Employment Details" to use more rows instead of columns.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. Experiment with one column vs. two columns as well - hope this helps!

Linkage?
