I watched Wrestlemania online last Sunday. It was a spur of the moment decision, I actually didn't remember it was taking place until that afternoon. I probably wouldn't have watched it if Sunday Night Football was in season or there was a movie my girlfriend and I had been looking forward to renting. I definitely wouldn't have spent $50 on it as was the case a few years ago. All pay-per-views are now included on the WWE Network, and they've done a great job of turning it into an impulse purchase for casual fans like myself. There's no long-term commitment and it's easy to cancel online at any time.

Many people were upset when it was announced that the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 base models would have the same 16GB of storage as their predecessors. 16GB fills up very quickly with photos, apps, music, and videos. At least Apple doubled the amount of storage available at higher prices from 32GB to 64GB and 64GB to 128GB for an extra $100 or $200, respectively. I believe there are two reasons for doing this that go hand-in-hand.

Lately I've been wondering how much money podcasts make. Do people make a living doing this, does your favorite podcast really need your donation, is this a profit center for big media companies? I listen to several podcast each week, ranging from highly produced shows near the top of the iTunes charts to shows with a few people talking about tech over Skype. There isn't much reliable data available, so I had to look at various rumors and reported figures and connect the dots for a few podcasts I'm familiar with. I think we can draw some interesting conclusions, though.

Apple has unveiled a device featuring a 12" Retina Display, single port, 9 hours of battery life, and three color options. A new keyboard contributes to it being just 0.35-0.52 inches thin. Although its display is 2" larger, it weighs just 0.25 lbs more than an iPad Air 2 with keyboard case. I'm referring to the New MacBook of course, not a bigger iPad.
