Cable companies have been overcharging customers forever, so we can totally understand why someone might want to steal $1 million worth of cable service like this guy did in Florida. Of course, there are other ways to take money out of your cable company’s pocket that don’t involve going to jail. Pick up a TP-Link TC-7610 DOCSIS 3.0 (8×4) Cable Modem on Amazon and then follow the instructions in the box to activate it with your cable ISP. Then once you return your rented modem back to your cable company, they’ll slash between $8 and $10 off your bill by eliminating the modem rental fee. That’s as much as $120 in savings each year!

NASA hardware tends to last a long time, but few spacecraft can match the longevity of the two Voyager probes. The twin spacecrafts were launched way back in 1977, and now NASA has revealed that Voyager-2 just achieved a milestone that only its sister ship has accomplished before it: entering interstellar space.

Voyager-2’s transition to interstellar space — meaning that it’s completely left our solar system and broken free of the “bubble” created by our star — has obviously been a long time coming. It’s been cruising through space for over 41 years and traveled an incredible 18.5 billion miles in that time. Now it joins its sister in an adventure into the great unknown.

When word emerged last week that Friends was poised to leave Netflix at the end of the year, fans of the hit show made their disappointment abundantly clear across all of social media. Indeed, the backlash was so strong and pervasive that it didn’t take long for Netflix to cave and ink a $100 million deal to keep Friends available through the end of 2019.

The saga above helps illustrate the predicament Netflix seems to be finding itself in with increasing regularity these days. Because the company doesn’t own some of its most popular content, and because content owners are finally starting to view Netflix as a legitimate competitive threat, some of the more popular shows on Netflix have either already left or are poised to leave in the near future.

It’s a Christmas miracle! Amazon’s All-new Kindle Paperwhite is the first waterproof Kindle E-Reader Amazon has ever made, and it didn’t go on sale at all for Black Friday. We figured it would be discounted on Cyber Monday or at some point during Cyber Week, but alas. Now, with two weeks to go until Christmas, it finally got the discount we’ve been waiting for. $130 is a fair price for such a great new eBook reader, but you’ll only pay $99.99 this week!

Here are some key details from the product page:

• The thinnest, lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet—with a flush-front design and 300 ppi glare-free display that reads like real paper even in bright sunlight.
• Now waterproof, so you’re free to read and relax at the beach, by the pool, or in the bath.
• Enjoy twice the storage with 8 GB. Or choose 32 GB to hold more magazines, comics, and audiobooks.
