UPDATED! Netflix User Profiles Stay.

“You spoke, and we listened. We are keeping Profiles. Thank you for all the calls and emails telling us how important Profiles are.”This is incredible news, as well as a big win for the internet community. Many times companies and studios decide to get rid of something, whether it is a TV show or a feature we like.

There is so much power packed into this tiny device, and I want to use all of it to its full extent. Jailbreak, is the answer to unlocking this power.

My Favorite Games of 2007
