    My Costco is unchanged at $4.099 and the price of premium went down three cents to $4.469. $1.40/gallon is about as big a differential as it gets. If this isn't Summer gas, I can easily see $6/gallon gas in your future. Redwood City is $5.339 and $5.739 respectively.

    I believe that some of the streaming weakness has a lot to do with Disney's failure to add content that they promised and removal of content that was considered "culturally outdated".

    I was reading the Security Updates release notes and the latest Patch Tuesday addresses 149 issues. Quite a few of them are for SQL Server (37, mostly threat 8.8/10) but that's got to be nearing some sort of record for Microsoft malfeasance.

    DIRECTV uses one satellite fleet. DISH uses two. Why is that?

    When it comes to being on the wrong side something DISH often wins with two looks. DISH also suffers less if there is a satellite outage such as DIRECTV 11 recently experienced. Ku will always be as good or better than Ka.
