Oscars streaming #fail: how it went down.
Last night, ABC televison promised to stream the Oscars live online for the first time. But it failed.
Overloaded computer networks kept the Oscars largely out-of-view for more than two hours of the broadcast.
In the end, a television streaming service called Aereo — a competitor the TV networks hope to kill — won the night, just by being down for less of the time.
