- Record Numbers Tune in to March Madness Live Stream19 March 2010, 6:23 pm
It’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament time — otherwise known as March Madness — and the online streaming initiative from CBS Sports and the NCAA is already netting massive numbers: 3.4 million hours of video/audio were streamed online by three million unique visitors on day one.Those staggering numbers mean that online viewership is already up 20% over last year’s figures, and apparently a large majority of you have no problem watching from work.

For all y’all out there who think that the iPad leaves much to be desired, we’ve got the video for you.

It’s unclear from BusinessWeek’s report if that was a condition enforced before the iPad was unveiled to the public or if it’s something that will be kept up until the April 3 launch date.Apple is a notoriously secretive company, especiall...
