If by supporting the Olympics means watching every second, then I am a staunch supporter.

 

This year will be the first to have complete streamable coverage. Live coverage of every event accessible from any internet connected device. It starts today at 9pm London time (or 4pm Eastern Time).

 

If you are also a obsessive compulsive Olympic watcher, share your thoughts at element14.

    Dab,

     

    The Olympics seems void of political drama. I have been watching every day.

     

    Well worth viewing! (with multiple screen of coarse.)

    Sadly, I have become too disappointed about the pointless political issues and uses of technology and chemistry to despoil the games of any true sportsmanship.  I will not be watching any of the events or worrying about who did or did not "earn" any of the medals.

    It just all seems too overhyped for my tastes.

     

    Just my opinion,

    DAB

    What a great summarization of today's technology and what it affords us for these Olympics.

     

    Well done, indeed.
