March, Now 50% Madder
As if the NCAA Tournament isn't already enough of a drain on office productivity, this year's competition could be even more of a distraction.

Last year CBS aired the video streams to Web users willing to pay a $19.95 fee, but now the online broadcasts are available free. Some hoops aficionados are already speculating that the streams will end up frustrating fans: CBS says it will be able to handle about 200,000 viewers, but any additional viewers will have to sit in "virtual waiting rooms" until spots open up.
