3.2 million watched online vs. 1.7 million watching on tv. Wonder what this says about the future of tv and streaming media.

Indeed, it was awesome seeing the ustream count kept increasing about as fast as miles to touchdown decreased.

you hear about the cases where Scripps (the kinda shadowy "news" service) fired off takedown notices for youtube and other videos? http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/6/3223820/nasa-rover-youtube-copyright-takedown

Lame. Looks like the takedown was automated by Youtube's DCMA algorithm. I guess that's what you get when you try to get the robots to do your censoring for you.
