I recently blogged about my extreme frustration with NBC:

This is an obituary for the generation gap. It is a story about 40-year-old men and women […]

I recently wrote about NBC’s crappy online viewing experience since pulling their content off of iTunes. Apparently they aren’t just out to ruin the online experience but the live television viewing experience as well.
