About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
Meet The Cable Guy, who doled out $150,000 in free services to Cablevision customers. Apparently this New York-based Cable Guy regularly made adjustments to nearly 300 customer accounts to reflect that cable charges had been credited either in full or for premium channels like HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. According to cybercrime authorities investigating the case, these were not "random acts of kindness" (i.e. kickbacks were involved).
