It makes me wonder how long it will take someone to start up a service to package these streaming services and make them available the way cable companies should have done long ago.

CBS Now Offering Monthly Service
One of the big networks are finally offering a monthly fee service. CBS is now offering a CBS All Access service at $5.99/mo. for streaming all content. They claim even the NCAA basketball tourney will be streamed. Not a bad price for access to all of the shows. Now I need to start choosing keeping closer tabs on the monthly service fees for streaming.

LastPass Password Management
Just make sure to turn off the "Automatically Fill Login Information" option if you work in Systems Administration. Just the other day it updated this information on a site I was using without me noticing. I had to scramble for the valid username and password before systems started throwing alerts.

New Remote Desktop for Mac (about time)
Apple and Microsoft have released a new client for Remote Desktop for the Mac. The old client has been in sore need of an update for years and the new client with IOS and Android versions is a welcome improvement.

Apparently you can't save shortcuts with passwords, or at least I haven't figured it out yet. There will certainly be a learning curve and maybe a few updates (now that it's in the App store) but I sure hope I can have shortcuts with passwords, or maybe I should just rethink that from a security stand point anyway.
