I can understand the ease of cable and watching your shows, I’m younger and I do fall right into the age range that the article is talking about.  I have cut the cable, and I dont miss cable one bit, it may be because I grew up with it? 
  The people interviewed for this article are either A really stupid or B didnt do thier research very well.  A 40 year old engineer and he didnt consider a HTPC? or using an OTA tuner?  and secondly the college kids gather around a tiny laptop to watch hulu?  for one why dont they just ota TV to watch the office?  problem solved.  and if they have a decent laptop they could just get an ota tuner and dvr the office.  To me it almost seems like yahoo is trying to give “cutting the cable” a bad reputation.  I’ll admit its not for everyone but its really not that difficult to do with a little research and a little work anyone if determined can have a super nice set up and never have to pay for cable again.  For the sports side of things they lacked to say that you can purchase an xbox later this year for full streaming ESPN.  I’ll stop my rant now :p
