Summary: "60 Minutes," Sunday at 7 P.M. ET/PT


Polaroid is back, but no need to buy a camera—or even film.

Instead, a young San Francisco startup has reimagined the iconic instant photos company for the 21st Century in the form of a mobile photo app. Polaroid Swing, as it’s called, lets users snap very brief videos akin to Apple’s Live Photos or GIFs. Each clip lasts one second, and users can swipe across it or tilt their phone to make it “move,” or just tap it “watch” the moment of action.

“This is the first downloadable Polaroid camera” said Tommy Stadlen, who co-founded Swing, the company behind the app, with Frederick Blackford, his childhood friend.

Inside the app, there are three sections: the user’s feed, where they can see photos from friends and artists; their own profile, where their own photos and other information can be found; and the camera, with which they can snap the photos. To get users started, Polaroid Swing already populates their feed with photos from some of the artists that have been using the app in the last four months.

Get Data Sheet, Fortune’s technology newsletter.

Making the app hip with artists part of the company’s strategy to attract users. “I think that people do see what’s happening in culture and it does resonate when artists make interesting stuff,” said Blackford.

That strategy, of course, is one Blackford and Stadlen have borrowed from the original Polaroid, which in its early days caught on with the hip crowd and artists like Andy Warhol. Eventually, of course, a wide range of folks bough Polaroid cameras over the years, which is exactly what Stadlen and Blackford hope will happen to their app too. The startup has a strong relationship with Apple (and employs several of its former employees), and the Polaroid brand name is sure to give it a head start on the market.

“I think Polaroid is a key thing,” Biz Stone, best known as a co-founder of Twitter and who invested in Swing and is its chairman, told Fortune. “That isn’t to say that the app isn’t cool, but it makes it orders of magnitude more appealing and attractive to someone like me.”

The startup has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from a mixture of investors, including a venture capital company, angel investors, and big shots from the entertainment and fashion industries. But it declined to name any of them other than Stone and the Polaroid Corporation. It’s unclear whether using the Polaroid brand was part of Polaroid’s investment in Swing, or whether the startup is paying a separate licensing fee.

Though it sold instant cameras and film for decades and pioneered much of that technology, today, the Polaroid Corporation is merely a Minnetonka, Minn.-based rights holding company for the brand name. Unable to innovate as digital cameras displaced film cameras, Polaroid eventually filed for bankruptcy—twice, in 2001 and 2008.

So in many ways, Stadlen and Blackford’s startup could turn out to be the modern incarnation that Polaroid never reached on its own. And the startup is not stopping at a mobile app. It plans to eventually extend its technology to virtual reality, and recently started to work on a hardware product it says will translate its technology to “the physical world,’ although it declined to elaborate further. A camera attachment for smartphone for capturing special photos could be one good guess, though we’ll have to see.

Still, whether Polaroid Swing becomes the next great thing in photos apps remains to be seen. While the app—currently available on iOS devices only—and its photo format are certainly attractive, the startup will still have to convince consumers to download yet another app. And there are already similar alternatives for “moving images.” One of these—Apple’s Live Photos—already comes as part of the tech giant’s newer iPhones and a growing number of major services, like Facebook, as adding support for its format. Polaroid Swing has a long road ahead.

Summary: A Polaroid-backed startup wants to reinvent the iconic brand for the digital era.


The following script is from "The Perfectionist" which aired on Nov. 3, 2013. The correspondent is Armen Keteyian. Draggan Mihailovich, producer.

Nick Saban is the most dominant head coach today in college football -- and maybe all of American sports. With the regular season in its home stretch, Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide is once again undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the country -- gunning for a modern day record third straight national title and fourth championship in five years. He is worshipped by his rabid fan base...feared by his rivals, who see Saban as an intense, tightly wound control freak who takes little or no pleasure in all of his success.

For the last eight months, Saban granted 60 Minutes rare access inside his program. What we learned is while the rest of college football may be chasing Nick Saban, Nick Saban's chasing something else: perfection.

[Players: Get your mind right!]

The chant is get your mind right. It's the mantra of the man out front, the heartbeat of the Alabama Crimson Tide, head coach Nick Saban. His program has become the gold standard of college football.

To get a sense of how Saban has driven Alabama to the top we begin with an afternoon in early August. An energized Saban couldn't wait to get to his favorite part of the day.

[Nick Saban: Okay, blow the horn. Let's go...]

To practice...A thunderstorm had forced his team indoors, but it didn't dampen Saban's passion to teach his players the finer points of football.

[Nick Saban: I want you to step, step, step....I'm talking about jack him up!}

In demanding his players be as exacting as he is, Saban can be volcanic.

[Nick Saban: I've already told you three times!!]

Armen Keteyian: Why are you so tough on people?

Nick Saban: Well, I don't know if it's fair that I'm really tough on people. We create a standard for how we want to do things, and everybody's got to buy into that standard or you really can't have any team chemistry. You know, mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people.

Saban doesn't miss anything. On this afternoon, a freshman caught Saban's eye...

No. 4, Eddie Jackson, who seemed lost...

[Nick Saban: You an offensive lineman or what?]

Jackson, a defensive back, was stretching with the offensive linemen.

Trying to master Alabama's complex schemes was too much, too soon for Jackson.

[Nick Saban: Hey Eddie! It's kick support!!! It's Cover Two, why you backing up!!! You're supposed to come and force the edge!!!]

Jackson looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole.

[Nick Saban: Come on Eddie!]

All of Alabama's players have been there. Safety Vinnie Sunseri remembers the day he and a fellow defensive back forgot a play.

Vinnie Sunseri: And he throws his hat. It's a straw hat and it's not really heavy. He's able to throw it like Zorro at us. I thought it was going to hit us and knock us out. And just starts yelling at us. And we were like, "We just got Sabaned."

[Nick Saban: You messed up my hat... ]

But Saban's players have faith in their coach largely because of a revolutionary approach he designed years ago called The Process. Ignore the scoreboard, Saban preached to his players. Don't worry about winning, just focus on doing your job at the highest level, every single play, and the wins will follow.

Nick Saban: The approach was to challenge the players to play every play in the game like it had a history and a life of its own and tried to take the other team out of the game and make it all about us in terms of what we did.

Armen Keteyian: It's like jumping out of a plane without a chute. I mean in your business, what? We're not going to focus on winning?

Nick Saban: Right. But it really is the simple way to do it and it's the best way to do it.

AJ McCarron: It's a way of life around here. It's the way we play the game. It's the thought process behind everything.

Star quarterback AJ McCarron was involved in the one play that epitomizes just how deeply The Process has been programmed into Alabama's players. Late in last year's blowout win over Notre Dame in the championship game, McCarron and his center Barrett Jones called different plays at the line of scrimmage, both insisting they were right. A bizarre shoving match ensued on national TV. Saban loved it.

Nick Saban: The game's probably won, and they're...

Armen Keteyian: Well, it's 42-14...

Nick Saban:...still trying to get, yeah, they're still trying to get it right, all right, which to me is the kind of pride and performance that you want in the players.

Armen Keteyian: Can you see the critics saying, 'Come on, coach, just take a breath. Relax. Enjoy the moment.'

Nick Saban: Right. I, I can, I can see the people saying that. But we're still coaching. We're trying to get 'em to do it right. I don't ever want the players to relax in a game.

Saban urges his team to do things the right way, all the time. So when this player arrived late for a meeting because he was busy taking out his earrings, it didn't go over well,

[Nick Saban: Number one thing: Be on time. 'Cause it shows you care. All you're telling me is your earrings are more important than your damn football.]

Saban never lets up. No matter the stage. On a sweltering June day when he could have taken the afternoon off, Saban was instructing young campers as if he was preparing to play LSU. Even the simple act of handing out camp certificates turned into a life lesson.

[Nick Saban: Shake my hand...shake my hand]

Why is Saban such a perfectionist? The answer lies on another football field, in a small, West Virginia mining town. Saban's father, Nick Sr., started a Pop Warner team called the Black Diamond. Today, the Black Diamonds are still playing, on the same field, only it's now named for Nick Sr., a local legend. Nick remembers how his dad's long, demanding practices always ended on a hill in the back of the end zone.

Nick Saban: And it was like a three-level hill. And it's almost straight up. And we, we would line up at the bottom of that hill. And that was our conditioning. We'd have to sprint up that hill. And it was so dark he couldn't tell whether you made it to the top. So there was a row of trees up there. You had to bring a leaf back to him, prove that you made it to the top.

Nick grew up in a coal camp, with just nine streets. His dad owned this service station down the road. Nick started working for him at age 11.

Nick Saban: If we washed a car when I worked for him at the service station and it was not done exactly perfectly correctly, he would say, "Wash it again."

Armen Keteyian: And you had a fear, as I understand, of certain cars?

Nick Saban: The navy blue ones and black ones were really hard to keep the streaks out of. A single streak. You had to do the whole car over again.

Armen Keteyian: Well, now we know where the attention to detail comes from.

Nick Saban: That's where it comes from.

Nick thought he wanted to run a car dealership after playing football at Kent State. But while serving there as a graduate assistant coach in 1973, he told his dad that coaching was in his blood.

Nick Saban: And I said, "I think this is really what I want to do." That was the last conversation we had, 'cause he passed away the next weekend.

His dad was only 46. Saban began a nomadic coaching career, never staying in one place more than five years. After he won the 2003 national championship at LSU, Saban was lured to the NFL to coach the Miami Dolphins. As Miami struggled late in the 2006 season, the University of Alabama, a fading football power still living off the days of the great Bear Bryant was searching for a new coach. Alabama made Saban its No. 1 target. Saban uttered these words.

Nick Saban: Well, I guess I'll have to say it then, "I'm not going to Alabama..."

Armen Keteyian: Do you regret that, Nick? Saying...

Nick Saban: Oh absolutely. I mean I...

Armen Keteyian: You said, flat out, "I'm not going to Alabama."

Nick Saban: Right. I really in the end, you know, it affected my integrity as a person by saying one thing and doing something else.

Today in Alabama, Saban is treated like a god.

Saban now has his own statue outside the stadium, a tribute to his national titles. Alabama has made him the highest paid coach in the game. Dr. Robert Witt, Alabama's chancellor, approved the contract.

Armen Keteyian: Nick Saban, Dr. Witt, makes north of $5.5 million a year. Very simply, is he worth it to the University of Alabama?

Robert Witt: Nick Saban's the best financial investment this university has ever made. We have made an investment that's been returned many-fold.

Armen Keteyian: The best investment the University of Alabama has ever made?

Dr. Robert Witt: I believe...

Three national championships in four years has translated into a 112 percent increase in revenue for Alabama's athletic department. Last year, $4 million was returned to the university in the form of academic scholarships.

[Nick Saban: Good morning guys...]

At 62, Saban continues to coach as if his next paycheck is in doubt.

[Nick Saban: We can't go to the line on offense and stand there until the shot clock runs out trying to figure out what the defense is going to do so we can call a play...]

Saban's idea of relaxation during the season? Watch more film -- and no one is more relentless at evaluating recruits.

Armen Keteyian: Is it true that if you really like a high school player you will have every single play of his career put on tape?

Nick Saban: And I watch that guy.

Armen Keteyian: Every single play?

Nick Saban: Every single play.

If you think Saban needs to get a life, well, you're not alone. But in a profession that is a minefield for couples, he's been married to his grade-school sweetheart Terry for 42 years.

Armen Keteyian: What's the secret of you two staying together?

Armen Keteyian: Yeah. That helps.

Terry Saban: That does help.

Together, they've been a powerful team, never more so than in April 2011, when a monstrous tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa. This was the view from Saban's office. Sixty-five people were killed.

Terry Saban: It's the first time in 42 years I've ever seen him totally put football aside.

Nick Saban: I immediately called a team meeting and I said, "Look guys, you know, we have to go serve the people who have always supported us."

[Terry Saban: This family has two little girls...]

Terry and Nick's fund, Nick's Kids, has helped rebuild 15 homes destroyed by the tornado. It's another sign that Saban seems to have found the right fit in Tuscaloosa. This is his seventh season at Alabama, the longest he's ever coached at one place.

Nick Saban: There's not the University of Mars, which is a better place. You know, there's not that. So now it's easy to be comfortable here.

Armen Keteyian: He appears more content. Is that a fair assessment?

Terry Saban: I think that's true and I think I've heard the assistant coaches who have been with him for years say that he's mellowing a little bit. And yet, outsiders will see him on the field or in, at practice and say, "Mellowing relative to what?"

Remember No. 4, Eddie Jackson, the poor freshman who couldn't do anything right back in August? Well, he stuck with it and by late September, here he was starting in an important game against Mississippi.

He intercepted a pass and helped the Crimson Tide shut out Ole Miss.

Armen Keteyian: How gratifying is that for you Nick to see that kind of growth?

Nick Saban: That's really what I enjoy about all this, you know, is to see guys, you know, do that. But sometimes you invest the same time in another guy and they don't make the progress. And that can be just as frustrating.

Saban and his players were tested in September in front of one of the most intimidating crowds in the country: a showdown at Texas A&M, the only school to beat Alabama last year, against a magician named Johnny Manziel.

[Announcer: Manziel magical play...Oh my gosh!!!...]

When Manziel and A&M raced to a 14-0 lead in a matter of minutes, Alabama didn't fold. The Tide methodically regrouped, did what they were taught, played the play and, ultimately, prevailed in its biggest game of this season to date.

In the locker room afterward, the players' reward was not only victory, but something just as treasured: praise from the perfectionist.

Nick Saban: This is a great win. It's a great win for our program. It's important and we did a great job of competing in the game today. To get behind, 14-0, on the road and show the resilience to come back like we did. I'm so happy, happy, happy. I can't tell ya. And I'm so proud, proud, proud!

There's a lot more to what makes the Alabama football program so strong, and part of it is strength itself. We'll show you how and why Alabama may be the most-fit team in the country Wednesday on 60 Minutes Sports on SHOWTIME.

Summary: Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide is once again ranked No. 1 and undefeated. How does he do it?


Expanding tax breaks for the poor was one of the biggest legislative priorities of Governor Charlie Baker and Senate President Stan Rosenberg last year.

They got a partial victory by delaying a corporate perk, freeing up money to increase the earned income tax credit. But this year, as another Legislative session neared its conclusion . . . well, crickets. Neither Baker nor Rosenberg offered a proposal to finish what they started in trying to double the EITC.

Then something finally happened this week. The Senate attached language to an economic development bill that would extend the state’s 5.7 percent hotel tax to short-term rentals on vacation homes and rooms rented through online companies like Airbnb.

The tax would generate about $16.7 million a year and would be used to expand the EITC, which cuts tax bills for families with an annual household income of under $53,000. That amounts to giving back as much as an extra $313 per filer, according to analysis by the left-leaning research group MassBudget.

The measure is expected to pass on Thursday, and then it will go to a conference committee to work out differences with the House’s economic bill.

Baker and House Speaker Bob DeLeo don’t like new taxes. But here’s why both should set aside their politics.

It’s the new economy, stupid.

Companies usually don’t like new levies, but not in this case because paying taxes is a sign of legitimacy. In a letter to legislators on Wednesday, Airbnb wrote how it couldn’t wait to pay “its fair share” of taxes, something it has done in seven other states and in nearly two dozen US cities.

It’s a good deal for Airbnb: The company can pass the cost onto consumers, and the state will leave other regulation up to local municipalities. Some cities, for example, may require Airbnb owners to get a permit or license before they list their properties.

The Massachusetts Municipal Association supports the new tax as well. The current law allows only the state and towns to collect taxes on hotels and motels. The Senate amendment would also allow towns to impose their own local tax on short-term rentals.

A bill to tax Airbnb and other similar companies has been making its way through the Legislature, but it has been stuck in a House committee. But when the House version of the economic development bill moved to the Senate last week, Senator Michael Rodrigues saw an opportunity to attach the Airbnb amendment. The Westport Democrat has wanted to level the playing field in the hospitality industry and make it easier to administer tax collection by getting the state involved.

As for what to do with the new-found money, Rodrigues, the co-chairman of the Revenue Committee, got his marching orders.

“The Senate president was very clear about it,” Rodrigues said. “Let’s dedicate this to EITC.”

Nearly half a million families in Massachusetts benefit from both the state and federal EITC, widely hailed as one of the most effective antipoverty policies out there. Currently, the state matches 23 percent of the federal EITC refund, up from 15 percent in the previous year. That means this year eligible families in the Commonwealth got as much as $500 more from the EITC.

The Senate is proposing to increase the match to 28 percent, as well as adding a state residency requirement to be eligible for the full benefit.

With those two changes, MassBudget estimates the expanded EITC would cost the state an extra $38 million a year. Even with the new tax and adjusting the residency rule, the state would still be about $21.3 million short in fully funding the new rate.

On that, the Senate is banking that the short-term rental business will grow significantly by the time the proposed tax kicks in starting in 2018. If not, there’s time to make another adjustment.

Last year Baker proposed to kill the controversial film tax credit and use that money to fund an expanded EITC. Rosenberg wanted to freeze the income tax rate. DeLeo didn’t like either plan. But the Big Three worked out a last-minute compromise.

Rosenberg’s real stroke of political genius this year is tying the new tax to a program that helps the working poor. It will be that much harder for Baker and DeLeo to just say no to new taxes.

Summary: Even no-new-tax pols should jump at the chance to use a levy on online home rentals to fund an increase in the earned income tax credit for the poor.


T he Maeght Foundation scored a coup in securing the loan of Otto Dix's vast triptych "Grossstadt" or "Metropolis" (1928) as the centerpiece of its current Dix retrospective. Painted on wood, in a modernist take on a 15th-century altarpiece, the weighty and fragile "Metropolis" almost never leaves its permanent home in Stuttgart's Galerie der Stadt.

A corrosive portrait of Berlin in the '20s, "Metropolis" blares with the frenzy of the jazz band crowded into one corner of its central panel, a swank cabaret scene peopled by brittle, bejeweled women, unamused men and a flamboyant transvestite brandishing a pink ostrich-plume fan. In the right-hand panel a strange parade of prostitutes descends a staircase in front of a legless beggar who offers a military salute; in the panel on the left, gaudy harlots taunt a gray-haired veteran hobbling on crutches and wooden legs, while a second soldier lies, drunk or dead, on the cobblestoned street. Painted in a strident rainbow of brilliant yellow, gold, crimson, orange, pink, brick, celadon, turquoise, khaki and blue, "Metropolis" alone is enough to confirm Dix as the leading painter of the Weimar Republic.

So perfectly in tune was Dix with his disordered times, in fact, that when they ended he was cut adrift. Although the 150 paintings and 70 drawings and prints cover his whole six-decade career, this show clearly demonstrates that nothing he produced before or after measures up to his work between World War I and the early '30s, when he was branded a "degenerate" and consigned to Nazi oblivion.

Dix was a 23-year-old art student in Dresden when he went off to war in 1914, and for the next four years, in drawings from Flanders, Poland, Russia and France, he captured his Cubist-Futurist visions of trench warfare: phantom-like soldiers waist-deep in "Mud" (1916), two "Sharpshooters" (1917) using the bodies of fallen comrades to steady their guns, and a tangled "Melee" (1917) of soldiers viciously bayoneting and biting.

In 1922, Dix returned to his memories of the trenches with a series of 51 engravings worthy of Goya in their grotesque horror--the complete set, from the Otto Dix Stiftung in Liechtenstein, is a terrifying tour de force. "I didn't paint war scenes to prevent war," he explained many years later. "I would never have had that pretension. I painted them to conjure war--all art is conjuration. I also paint dreams and visions, the dreams and visions of my epoch, the dreams and visions of all human beings."

In Germany after World War I, many of those dreams were nightmares, and Dix painted them in acid caricature. In "Prague Street" (1920) a hideously mutilated war veteran begs for handouts as another propels himself by, a bowler-hatted torso on a wheeled platform. "Souvenir of the Hall of Mirrors in Brussels" (1920) is a nude prostitute perched on the knee of a ludicrously red-faced German officer, with fragments of their pose obscenely reflected in mirrors on the ceiling, walls and floor; the title is a double-play on the German military brothels known as "crystal palaces" and the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. "Three Prostitutes in the Street" (1925) are garish girls out shopping in fox-trimmed coats, cloches and pearls.

Among the best works in the show are Dix's strong watercolors, from the scruffy, sunburned sailor "John Penn" (1922) to the sordid and bloody "Murder" (1922) and the cruelly comic close-up of two "Charwomen on Sunday" grinning in frilly frocks and flowered hats. There are also a handful of Dix's unflinching portraits, including those of the horse-faced journalist Sylvia von Harden with her cigarette and monocle (1926), the photographer Hugo Erfurth with his German shepherd (1926), the lawyer Hugo Simons with his gracefully gesturing hands (1925).

Dix borrowed freely from the Old Masters he admired, especially Dürer, Cranach the Elder and Mathias Grünewald. In 1945 the 54-year-old Dix was drafted and sent to war again; shortly afterward, in a curious twist of fate, he became a prisoner of war and was sent to Colmar, France, a city whose Unterlinden Museum now houses both Grünewald's powerful 16th century "Issenheim Altarpiece" and Dix's "The Madonna of the Barbed Wire," a triptych in pencil that Dix completed for the camp chapel while a prisoner of war. After the war, Dix returned to his home on Lake Constance, where he continued to paint until his death in 1969.

Spice Girls super fans counting down to the group’s 20th anniversary in 2016 may have something to look forward to that’s better than listening to debut single “Wannabe” on repeat: Mel B, a.k.a. Scary Spice, has dropped heavy hints about an upcoming reunion.

“To be serious, it is our 20th anniversary this year and it would be rude not to celebrate, so hopefully something will be happening pretty soon,” she said in an interview on Alan Carr’s New Year’s Eve special, the Express reports.

The group previously reunited in 2012 to perform at the London Olympics; this time around, there’s some speculation as to whether all five members would participate, especially Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice), who has previously said she wouldn’t do it again. Four words, Posh: Say You’ll Be There.

Summary: The girl group will be celebrating its 20th anniversary


On Monday, Comcast introduced a new streaming TV service called, appropriately, Stream. It’ll launch in beta in the Boston area toward the end of summer, and the plan calls for a continued rollout to Chicago and Seattle in the fall. By early 2016, the service is expected to be available nationwide.

What’ll grab your attention right away is what seems to be an incredibly low price for a service that includes HBO: just $15 per month. Also surprising is that Comcast—renowned for frustrating customers with high prices and poor customer service even in its hometown of Philadelphia—swears that Stream subscribers will enjoy a dream, hassle-free user experience. “We want to make ordering Stream as easy as buying a song online,” the Comcast press release states. “And make tuning in to a show as simple as opening an email.”

But here are a handful of reasons why Stream isn’t quite the amazing value it’s pumped up to be.

Your bill will be much more than $15 per month. Comcast explains in its post that Stream is “unlike anything we’ve ever offered: no extra device or additional equipment required…or even a TV.”

What is required, however, is a broadband Internet connection (which is true for any streaming)—but not just any connection. In the case, you need a connection provided by Comcast on a monthly subscription basis. So, in addition to the $15 per month for Stream, you’ll also have to pay a monthly Comcast Internet bill, which might run $50 or $60.

What’s more, while no extra devices or additional equipment are needed for Stream, Comcast Internet customers do need modems. Unless you buy your own and hook it up—which few people bother with—you’ll be paying Comcast an extra $10 per month or so for the privilege of renting a piece of equipment that costs maybe $50 to $75 to own outright. Very quickly, you’ll see how that $15 monthly bill turns into $75 or $85, before local and national taxes and fees are added in.

Most of the content is free on regular TV. For now, the Stream package includes HBO and broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and PBS stations that “are typically available free via high-definition antennas that cost about $25,” the New York Times noted. We suppose there’s some value in being able to stream the networks on a device rather than watch them on TV, but such a service would be much more useful if you could stream via a non-Comcast Internet provider, or if you could watch in a location not in very close proximity to your TV. But you can’t because of the point below.

You can only stream live TV at home. One of the most appealing parts of Netflix, Hulu, Sling TV, and other streaming services made for cord cutters is that customers can watch on devices anywhere they go, so long as there’s wi-fi. Not so with Comcast Stream. Subscribers will be able to use the service’s cloud-based DVR to download and watch on-demand shows and movies at any location—presumably, for an extra fee in many cases—but if you want to watch live TV, you’ll have to stay in proximity to your home router.

“You’ll only be able to stream live TV while you’re connected to your home Wi-Fi network,” one BGR.com writer explains, which vastly diminishes the utility and value of the service. “Why would you want to live stream network TV in your home? If you’re in your house and you want to watch a network TV program live, you can get it by flipping on your TV and having your antenna deliver the signal… for free.”

There are cheaper options—from Comcast itself. As highlighted above, to get Comcast Stream, you’ll have to pay somewhere north of $75 per month, once Comcast broadband and the fees are tallied up. If all you want are the basic networks and HBO, there are much less expensive options, including some from Comcast. Re/Code’s Peter Kafka reported that, among the other possibilities, Comcast offers a package with basic TV, HBO, and broadband Internet starting at just $45 in some parts of the country.

HBO is the only pay TV channel included. Unlike Sling TV, which cable channels like ESPN, AMC, and TNT in its basic package, Stream contains only one channel that people cannot otherwise watch for free: HBO. The cost of Stream is the same as HBO’s stand-along streaming service, HBO Now. Yet because an HBO Now subscription does not require Comcast Internet service, and because unlike Stream, HBO Now can be viewed anywhere rather than only at home, essentially “from a cord cutter’s perspective, Comcast is charging $15 per month for a less desirable version of HBO Now,” suggests BGR.com.

Summary: The $15 per month streaming service sounds an amazing value. It's not.


I’ve been trying to figure out a better way to articulate what’s been happening in the multi-screen era we have shifted to.

I say “shifting” because there are many markets where one screen still dominates most consumers’ connected experiences. What is fascinating about those markets is that it’s a mobile device that’s the primary computing device for these consumers — not a PC with a mouse and keyboard designed to be used in a stationary setting.

I’ve never liked the term “post-PC,” primarily because in many western markets, the mouse-and-keyboard PC is still being used in conjunction with other connected devices. The term “post-PC” carries with it a tone that de-emphasizes the role of the PC more than it should. The other term we have used, which I no longer like, is the “PC plus” era. This term emphasized that the mouse-and-keyboard PC was still relevant, but it puts too much emphasis on the mouse-and-keyboard PC for my liking.

The best way to understand the computing shift that’s happening is to view the PC as having been decentralized. Prior to our smartphones and tablets, the PC was the center of our computing universe. I vividly remember Macworld in 2001 where Steve Jobs eloquently positioned the Mac as the center of consumers’ digital lives. For nearly a decade, this was true for many computer users. Everything revolved around the PC and was an accessory to the PC.

This is no longer the case. Think about the last time you physically – with a wire – connected your smartphone or tablet to your PC? I honestly think it’s been at least a year since I plugged my iPhone, iPad, or even my DSLR camera into my physical PC using a wire.

The decentralization of the PC has become even more evident to me in the past few years. Being that I’m the most technical person in my immediate and extended family, I’m generally the person who fixes PCs for family members. For the better part of the past decade, I can’t remember a family gathering around the holidays at someone else’s house where I wasn’t asked to take a look at what was wrong with someone’s Windows PC. Yet over the past few years, I’ve noticed those requests have shifted from fixing Windows notebooks or desktops to explaining how to do things with their iOS or Android devices.

What’s key about this shift is that it’s being led by mobility. We have noticed this shift with every advance in computing: Notebooks overtook desktops as the dominant computing form factor, and now smartphones and tablets are overtaking notebooks as the primary computing devices (in terms of a percentage of computing time for many — especially if we take a worldwide view of the market).

The center is now mobile. The mobile market is bigger than the PC market. The mobile Internet is bigger than the desktop Internet. The mobile Internet is the first-class citizen and the desktop Internet is secondary to it. The world is already mobile.

The PC will still live on and sell hundreds of millions of units annually, while mobile devices will grow and sell billions of devices annually. Each plays a role as part of a computing solution. The cloud will keep all our devices in sync, allowing us to choose any number of screen size and form factor combinations as a part of our individual computing solution.

Mobile computing devices will become more powerful and more capable. This reality will continually challenge legacy devices that require a consumer be stationary to get the full value of the product. The share of compute time is already shifting from fixed to mobile devices. This reality is upon us. The PC has been decentralized and mobile is the new center.

What’s interesting to ponder is if there’s another shift coming that can decentralize the smartphone.

Meanwhile, as part of his bid to attempt to claim every small advantage for his team, Pochettino is planning that his players will sleep at the training ground in between double sessions once the private lodge has been opened.

Work has started on the 45-bedroom lodge and Pochettino sees his players sleeping there following a morning session and lunch, ahead of an afternoon training routine.

Summary: Tottenham Hotspur will consider creating their very own Wembley pitch at the club’s training ground as Mauricio Pochettino devises a plan to juggle Premier League and Champions League football at different venues.


Indonesia's Constitutional Court is considering whether to make gay sex a crime after accepting a judicial review petition from Islamic activists.

A group calling itself the Family Love Alliance says an existing law that criminalises sex between adults and minors of the same gender, and which mandates prison sentences of up to 15 years, should be amended to also apply to sexual acts between adults of the same gender.

Rita Hendrawaty, chairwoman of the group, said on Wednesday it was not trying to criminalise lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

"The real reason is so that we have much clearer norms," she said.

"We are not intending to criminalise those who have deviant sexual orientation. That is not the point. They can be free to live but do not show what is their lifestyle."

Indonesia's image for tolerance and moderation has been tested this year by a campaign of denigration against LGBT people involving conservative politicians, mainstream Muslim groups, professional associations and media organisations.

Homosexuality is not illegal in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, but LGBT people can face stigma and discrimination.

Criminalising sexual activity between consenting adults would be a major backward step for human rights in the country.

Experts presented by the anti-LGBT group at a hearing on Tuesday testified that homosexuality was inherently immoral and went against Indonesia's state ideology.

Later this month, groups and individuals opposed to criminalising gay sex will testify.

The Family Love Alliance also wants the nine-judge court to expand adultery laws to include unmarried people and for the definition of rape to be gender neutral.

Currently the law defines rape as an act by a man against a woman.

Summary: An Indonesian group calling itself the Family Love Alliance wants to expand homosexual laws,  to criminalise sex acts between adults of the same gender.


With a Supreme Court nomination coming as early as today, the Senate Judiciary Committee should theoretically be preparing for its most important responsibility. That’s not, however, what’s happening.

[Today’s] hearing in the Judiciary Committee, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), is titled “Late-Term Abortion: Protecting Babies Born Alive and Capable of Feeling Pain.” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the committee’s most senior Republicans, is the chief sponsor of legislation that would ban abortion after 20 weeks.

Six months later, Chuck Grassley is holding a hearing in support of legislation that’s already failed and stands no chance of making a comeback in 2016.

But the politics are also deeply problematic. Planned Parenthood’s Dawn Laguens said in a statement yesterday, “Apparently Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell are too busy playing doctor to uphold their constitutional duty to consider a Supreme Court nominee when named.”

This context matters. Senate Republicans are arguing that it’s simply too late to consider President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, but it’s evidently not too late for Senate Republicans to invest time and energy in an abortion ban that was defeated six months ago.

Disclosure: My wife works for Planned Parenthood, but she played no role in this piece and her work is unrelated to the Judiciary Committee’s hearing.

Summary: Senate Republicans don't have time to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, but they'll make time for an abortion ban that was already defeated six months ago.


Even after years of heavy use, marijuana doesn’t seem to have much of an impact on the physical health of the body.

So finds a recent study published in JAMA Psychiatry, which analyzed data from a group of 1,037 New Zealanders followed from their birth until age 38. The researchers, led by Madeline Meier of Arizona State University, looked at whether cannabis use from age 18 to 38 was linked to several aspects of physical health, which were measured at several points throughout the years of the study through lab tests and self-reports.

The only bad effects pot seemed to have were on the teeth. At age 38, people who used cannabis had worse periodontal health than their peers, and nothing else appeared to be affected. By contrast, tobacco use was connected to all the expected declines: worse lung function, more inflammation and compromised metabolic health. Of course, the results come with a caveat; it’s possible that negative health effects of cannabis could show themselves after the age of 38.

Even more surprisingly, the researchers found that cannabis use over time was linked to a lower BMI, smaller waist circumference and better HDL cholesterol, suggesting that cannabis may be involved in metabolism. But it’s unlikely that this would have a major effect, the study authors note, since pot wasn’t linked to reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.

“There are definitely health risks associated with heavy marijuana use, but there just aren’t as many as we previously thought,” says Dr. Kevin Hill, a marijuana addiction expert and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, whose new commentary on the study is published Tuesday in JAMA.

The same group of researchers discovered some of those health risks in their famous 2012 study. Using data from the same group of New Zealanders, Meier and her team found that heavy marijuana use had effects on the brain on teenagers. Using cannabis regularly was associated with up to an 8 point decline in IQ when people started before age 18. (When adults began using cannabis after age 18—even heavily—they didn’t see this decline.)

“The answers with marijuana aren’t exactly what we would have expected them to be, and this is a great example,” Hill says. “You need to be willing to change your mind on these issues.”

Summary: Using pot, even over decades, was only linked to one negative health effect in a new study
