I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

I can't help but feel people want to lose their hair with netflix versus blockbuster. Blockbuster is such a shit show compared to netflix. Best way to fix your hair loss is a random site I found like http://hair.appmaintenance.com

Okay, so all they need to do is tie this in with Tivo and we'll be set. Because who the heck wants to watch movies on their computer anyway?

I've been using xplorer2 (squared) for the past few years and am very happy with it http://www.zabkat.com . There's a free lite version and a paid version which I use.
For USB drives A43 is the best choice because it's a self contained exe

Thanks Netflix.
That's a great news :-)

This is the right idea. Stuff like this is what will really cut down on piracy. If you make forms of entertainment legal, easily accessible and reasonably priced, the majority of people will pay.
P.S. Sorry about the previous unrelated comment, it's from a downloadsquad story about Windows Explorer replacements a few months ago. I have the greasemonkey scripts Textarea Backup as well as AutoLogin, and they both acted to submit the really old comment before I could hit stop. Gonna make an exception for this site now. Doh!

The real news is where this could go when combined with the previous Netflix announcement of having a set top box that gets these (now unlimited) movies onto your TV:

I'm disappointed that they've committed so much in the way of resources to allow unlimited downloads before they've committed any resources towards adding the option for captions on the videos. As my hearing worsens I find myself relying on the captions more and more.
Last night I was going to watch my latest Netflix movie, The Madness of King George, but the DVD was scratched and unplayable. I remembered that it was available as an instant download, but I had to have the computer volume up so high as to make the rest of my family uncomfortable. Captions would have made the movie much easier for me to follow.

I'm sure they're working on that (subtitles, chapter skip, etc).
But this was a much simpler change (simply removing a limit), with tons of positive PR value.

ever hear of headphones?
Michelle said 5:26PM on 1-14-2008
Then how would the rest of my family hear the movie?
Mark said 9:31PM on 1-14-2008
Headphones, with a Y-adaptor. One side goes to your headphones, and the other side goes to the audio input for your viewing device (TV, or DVD box, or external amp plus speakers).
It does sometimes take some extra equipment to deal with being hard of hearing. Get used to it.

This is great news, and as the previous commenters above have said, when it is combined a set-top box it will be brilliant. The difficult part will be deciding what to watch next! I'm always reading reviews but never remember what did well. To fix this I keep a blog of the movies I come across that are worth watching.

Here's why Apple's announcement of rentals tomorrow doesn't mean anything to Netflix:http://www.videonuze.com/blogs/details.php?id=321

that is great news except for the fact that all of us Apple users still can't even use this feature! for some reason it only works for PCs. I feel this is absurd because we are able to watch the trailers on Netflix but not the films. Does anybody know why they don't support Apple and if they have a timeframe in mind to begin support?

Uh.. Isn't that what bootcamp is for? Oh wait I forgot that everything revolves around Apple users. ITunes not satisfying you? lol.
