Stop trying to destroy DVD rentals. Nao. I have zero interest in streaming, and I guess I'm just a cavewoman to them.

What Resolutions Should Netflix Make for 2012?
We're all making resolutions (lose weight, exercise, stop doing something), so I thought it would be interesting to ask you what resolution(s) you make if you were the CEO of Netflix? What would you want Netflix to accomplish in 2012?
Nope I have terrible eyesight. Plus bad hearing. So subtitles on a phone? Nope.

Do You Really Like to Watch Netflix Streaming Movies on a Phone?
I walked past a T-Mobile store today and I saw the Netflix logo all over the store. Like Blu-ray players, TV's and tablets, Netflix seems to be a huge selling point for phones. I like watching streaming TV shows on my iPhone, but like director David Lynch, I only watch movies on a phone as a la...

Netflix's Adrian Cockcroft Explains Innovation at Netflix
Adrian Cockcroft, Netflix's cloud architect, posted his notes from #defrag where he explains how Netflix gets out of the way of innovation. If you haven't experienced a high performance culture, think about what it's like to drive flat out at a race track. Some people will be too scared to dea...
The last movie I went to in a theater was The Thing. I went on a Saturday at around 11 am. There were only a few people there, and it was quiet! I was amazed.
I refuse to buy drinks at the concession stand, so I stop by a convenience store and smuggle in a health drink in my purse.
The reason I don't go to the theater more often? I'm not interested in most movies, or I can wait for Netflix. Also, I don't know why parents take babies and toddlers to R rated movies, but a crying baby makes me want to leave.

Roger Ebert on Why Theater Revenue is Hurting
Roger Ebert explains why movie revenue is dropping, and includes the usual suspects: no major releases, prices, streaming, theater experience, etc. The myth that small-town moviegoers don't like "art movies" is undercut by Netflix's viewing results; the third most popular movie on Dec. 28 on N...
I'm disabled so driving to a Redbox is out, I relied on the DVDs by mail since our DSL is slow but it's cheap. I used to be able to get 8 DVDs a month, and I have BluRay access.
If this USPS crap gets approved, I'd be lucky to get 4 DVDs a month! What a ripoff.

US Postal Service Proposes the End of Next-Day 1st Class Mail
CNN Money reports that the US Postal Service is proposing to end next-day delivery of first class mail, in order to save costs by consolidating facilities. "This isn't a change we're happy about," said Art Sackler, executive director of the National Postal Policy Council, a trade group for lar...

What are You Watching on DVD or Streaming This Weekend?
The wife wants to see Eat Pray Love, the kids want to see A Christmas Carol, and I want to see The Expendables. So, what are you watching on DVD or streaming this weekend? Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
This is why I like older movies, even on Instant Watch. Newer movies tend to be low quality.
But don't worry! Yogi Bear is coming soon.

What's the Grossest Movie You've Rented from Netflix?
I'm not really big on watching horror movies, probably due to watching the Night of the Living Dead at a friend's house when I was six (I was unable to sleep the entire night because I thought zombies would attack at any time). So when I saw that one of the grossest movies I've ever seen, The ...

Too pricey for me. I think Netflix and Pandora are just fine for me. I use my BluRay and Wii for streaming. For 300 I could get an Xbox 360 or PS3!

Logitech's $299 Google TV Box Priced Too High?
I've been wondering how the Netflix-ready Google TV would fit into the market, and I'm confused by the pricing of Logitech's $299 Revue Google TV box. With Roku Players starting at $60, the Apple TV at $99, what features will Google TV have that are worth as much as five Roku Players or three Ap...
I've had "King of Masks" in my IW for months. I was watching XFiles, and now am on Season 4 of Married with Children. Doesn't look like I'll be watching King anytime soon.

Why We Put Off Watching Some Movies
James Surowiecki in the New Yorker wrote an interesting story about procrastination, Later. A similar phenomenon is at work in an experiment run by a group including the economist George Loewenstein, in which people were asked to pick one movie to watch that night and one to watch at a later d...

I received a shipping confirmation from Apple that the new Apple TV will arrive on Thursday. I ordered one for review the day it was announced, and it'll be interesting to see how Apple designers have integrated Netflix streaming. I'm also interested in testing the Netflix app and other videos w...
