Stupid Move Netflix. User Profiles Discontinued

If you haven’t heard yet, the Netflix profile feature is going away. To put it simply; Netflix is screwing over their heavy users. With the growing adoption of online rentals, steaming, and digital downloads on demand, one would think Netflix would be adding more features, not taking them away. I can already download high def movies on my Xbox360, and now I am strongly considering picking up an AppleTV. Up until this point I have not been that interested in using these other services, as I have been extremely satisfied with the Netflix service, that is until now.

It’s That Time Again! My WWDC ‘08 Predictions

On the cusps of the “one more thing” keynote from Stevie, I thought I would make my predictions once again. Last time I was pretty much dead on, well minus one. I guess it pays off to wait until the week before I make my predictions. It allows me to decipher what rumors still may have merit, and which ones are completely off. However, don’t be surprised to hear something that none of us expected.

Of course the 3G iPhone will be announced. It’s a given, and hopefully it will also launch the same day as the announcement. If they don’t release the new phone at all, I think there would be an outpouring of angry villagers with fire and pitchforks. I’ve got my pitchfork standing by.
