My MacBook is in the shop but three items compel me to post via my iPhone.
First, Serena Williams wins Wimbledon for the sixth time while notching her fourth consecutive major. Mark the moment in the annals of tennis and sports.
Ever wish you could have watched Ali or Borg or Ben Hogan or DiMaggio in their prime? This is one of those moments when we can see greatness in real time.
Second, last week a federal judge in Manhattan ordered Time Warner Cable to pay $229,500 to a Texas woman for robo-calling her 153 times after she yanked her consent.
The ruling shows the reach of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and how companies can run afoul of it. Though Time Warner Cable seems not to have tried to comply.
The case also highlights the value of reading the terms of service that govern relations with the services we use.
Speaking of the cable company, at a speech today in Manhattan, Hillary Clinton called for boosting competition in broadband, among other improvements to the economy. Hopefully whoever becomes president will do exactly that. The network can’t get faster fast enough.
