In Idea Man, Paul Allen tells his side of co-founding Microsoft without pulling any punches

These days Paul Allen is largely known for his ridiculously oversized yacht, his lawsuits, and his quest for commercial space flight, but of course it was co-founding Microsoft with Bill Gates that gave him the billions necessary to do all that fun stuff in the first place. Now he's looking back, writing a book called The Idea Man that, according to him, sets the record straight about the past -- starting with the title. Between the covers he alternately praises Bill Gates, saying he's "everything you'd want from a friend, caring and concerned," and lambasts him for his "mercenary opportunism" and for trying to dilute his share in the company, saying Gates was "out to grab as much of the pie as possible and hold on to it." Seems like Mr. Allen may have just burned a few bridges, but when you're worth about $13 billion that's the sort of thing you can get away with.

Data Caps Claim a Victim: Netflix Cuts Streaming Video Quality

By Nate Anderson, Ars Technica
Netflix announced last night that Canadian users will, by default, receive lower-quality?and lower-bandwidth?streaming video. The change was made to protect users, “because many Canadian Internet service providers unfortunately enforce monthly caps on the total amount of data consumed.”
Fast Internet connections could previously chew through 30-70GB of data while streaming 30 hours [...]
