STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: No One Votes In Off Years
Why: Because local politics probably have a bigger impact on your daily life than you realize. No weed for Ohio, Airbnb is taking over SF, and Kentucky, well, is Kentucky.

TECH THING OF THE WEEK ()
What: Data Caps Come To Broadband
Why: Because although 300 GB seems like a lot of data, think about the fact that a single TV episode is 1.5GB, a video game is 25GB, and streaming audio is about 100MB per hour. Multiply that by 4 people in a family, and it’s not that hard to hit that limit.
