	* Google Fiber's user agreement came into question for net neutrality. [https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2659981?hl=en&topic=2440874&ctx=topic] Specifically, Google's agreement requires that you should not host any services using a Google Fiber connection, which appears to go against the "No blocking" clause.

			* Still lots of pushback on all the UX changes in Firefox 23:
			** Tab behavior changing is probably the biggest one {{bug\|855370}}
			** Setting everyone's addressbar search provider to their searchbar search is causing users confusion {{bug\|738818}}
			** Removing options to disable javascript and images causing a small amount of user concern
			* Looking closely for Mixed content blocking issues -- may also be affecting CSS

	We will be sending out a snippets Survey after 23.0.1 is released.		We will be sending out a snippets Survey after 23.0.1 is released.

	* Samsung unveiled its first OLED TV with WiFi, show-recommendation engine, streaming services, Samsung’s Evolution Kit for future-proofing Smart TV features, 55-inch curved 1080p display, to be available in the U.S. for $9,000. Samsung claims that the curved screen is better suited to eyeballs (i.e. curved), that OLED panel technology can show pure black on a TV screen for the first time, and the two together help accurate display of color and contrast. [http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/08/samsung-oled-hdtv/] Most interesting though is the ability for two people to watch two different programs simultaneously wearing 3D-like glasses to view their program and a set of ear buds to capture their show's audio.
