Streaming (on Roku via Time-Warner Cable) was kaput today at 4:30 PM Eastern. It kept trying to buffer at the beginning of the program (The Caretakers) and never did start. We gave up after half a dozen rebufferings.
Anyone Having Streaming Problems?

My suspicion is that after all the grumbling dies down, people will continue to stick with Netflix and be pleased, mostly because it's still a bargain. We can watch a dozen movies in a month for less than what it costs to go to the movies once. And for about half what it cost to rent the movies at brick-and-mortar stores (back when they existed), minus the hassle of driving back and forth. And the "60 percent" increase is just a worst case scenario. Our bill went up by about 15 percent, and when we switched from 3-at-a-time to 2-at-a-time, it ended up actually down a penny (with increased use of streaming, we found that disks had been piling up on the 3-at-a-time plan, but Netflix was so cheap we hadn't bothered to downgrade).

I notice that the old "xx% similar to you" lines have returned to the review pages in the last week or so (but only sometimes). It looks like NF may be playing with the interface again, and some sort of networking features may be in the cards. I miss the ability to see my friends' queues and preferences.
Facebook Has Been Talking With Netflix About Adding Social Features
The NY Times reports that Facebook has been in talks with Netflix about making the service more social, making it seem less likely that Facebook would compete directly with Netflix. We first saw signs of this integration in March when an early test of the integration was discovered. Facebook h...
