The Sniffer, Nov 19th, 2012: Trends in Broadcasting and, uh, Rocking Chairs

OK trendwatchers, this time, Nora Young talks about how her experience watching the U.S. presidential election results has made her think about the disruptive state of TV right now. Who is a broadcaster now, anyway, when you can watch live TV coverage on Apple TV and original content on Netflix? Has your TV watching behaviour changed? If you're changing the way you watch, does that leave you more open to 'switching'? Also: Google announces voice search. And in other news, are you watching Breaking Bad?? Is it as addictive for you as it is for Cathi and me? Meanwhile, Cathi Bond has TWO stories about tech and rocking chairs! There's the rocking chair that charges your idevice at the same time, and the rocker that knits you a hat while you rock (via Gizmag). Here's the trailer for Netflix's House of Cards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULwUzF1q5w4&feature=player_embedded
