Is ‘Netflix And Fly’ Really The Future?

See the rest here:

Source: Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Last year, Netflix made it easier to binge-watch on the go by letting users download shows straight to their devices. Now, they’re partnering with airlines to make streaming easier both on the ground and in the air. We don’t know which airlines are participating in the campaign yet, but we do know that the video service is hoping to make their content more accessible worldwide – especially for those who may not have access to a strong wifi connection. With Amazon and Youtube on their heels in the streaming war, Netflix execs are looking for any and every opportunity to reach a larger audience. Below, Engadget explains the technology that makes it possible: Mobile encoding uses far less bandwidth than what you get on the desktop. A “DVD quality” stream uses just 250Kbps, for instance. You won’t confuse that with a 4K HDR stream at home, but it’s good enough for a tablet sitting on your tray. And importantly, it won’t clog an aircraft’s WiFi network.

Kody Brown, Sister Wives Still Under Investigation

TLC’s Sister Wives has been picked up for a second season. Whether prosecutors in Utah throw a wrench into it with bigamy charges remains to be seen. Kody Brown and his four wives have come under scrutiny from law enforcement and members of their own community for broadcasting their lives on TV. The Browns have been under investigation for two months – and counting. “We’re in no rush to get this filed,” says Donna Kelly, a deputy county attorney for Utah County. “You can expect a decision in the next 60 to 90 days.” Although polygamy is illegal, officials rarely get involved due to the sheer number of cases in Utah unless there’s child abuse, incest, abuse or fraud. “We don’t go looking for cases like this,” says Kelly. “But the Browns have definitely made it easier for us by admitting to felonies on national TV.” Kody recently wed Robyn Sullivan on Sister Wives , upping the wife tally to four. What do you think? Should the Sister Wives cast be prosecuted?
