Taking It Personally

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 12/30/2008

True or False? The Choicestream recommendations on Blockbuster.com are enhanced with "recommendations" for movies that Blockbuster happens to be overstocked on? (see comment)

Gamez n Flix Goes Under

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 12/18/2008

Netflix cleaned the clock of their competitors, but you can't give them this win. Gamez n' Flix was broken from the start. It's just too bad that so many people had to lose money on the pump and dump before they finally got shut down. (see comment)

How many of these photos do you think that they ripped off of the smoking gun's website vs. actually getting them via freedom of information requests? Something tells me that this is just a quick cut and paste without any attribution to the hard work tha … (see comment)

TiVo saving infomercials on your

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/11/2008

I'm pretty sure that this was a random snafu. I noticed the teleworld broadcast this morning too. It had a strange graphic around it that looked like a trivial pursuit game piece. If it keeps happening, it's probably worth complaining about, but my gue … (see comment)

Buried for inaccurate headline, there's a huge difference between the DVR that Rogers tries to force on their customers and a TiVo. (see comment)

Netflix and Xbox.com: Cheating you out of $4/mo?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/23/2008

Netflix isn't cheating anybody out of anything, you are comparing apples to oranges. The $8.99 Xbox plan is for one DVD at a time with unlimited streaming and all you can eat rentals. The Netflix $4.99 package is for a one at a time, but only 2 rentals … (see comment)

Jury Clears Photographer Who Refused to Stop Photographing

Comment in News (45 diggs, 3 replies) - on 05/15/2008

My understanding of the law is that destroying evidence of any kind is considered a felony. Whether that evidence proves innocence or guilt is irrelevant. Even beyond any civil liability, these cops should have to answer to the same criminal charges tha … (see comment)

DivX Stage6 alternative DivXit.net launches on April 29th

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/23/2008

I'm not so sure about Hostmedia. Content on the site is really sparse and when I tried to upload a video last week it never showed up. I know that it's still in alpha phase, but it seems like they are more interested in soliciting donations than they ar … (see comment)

The New Gamefly and Netflix? Maybe...

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/27/2008

Somehow I doubt that this site has anything to do with Netflix or Gamefly, but it does still look interesting. If this is a real contender though, they should buy voxdisc.org and .net if they are serious about the name. I'd also consider a redesign on t … (see comment)

Best Bartending on the Web

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/14/2008

Webtender has always been too spammy for me. I've got very little tolerance for pop ups. Miss Charming looks like a good site, but so far my favorite is the Cocktail Database. http://www.cocktaildb.com/index … (see comment)

How to Rip Netflix's Instant Viewing Movies

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/14/2008

I'd be careful about using this method to save your movies. After this hack became popular Netflix started canceling the accounts of people who were abusing it. (see comment)

It's hard to take this seriously when the blog is only a day old. I'm going to digg down for inaccurate. (see comment)

The ultimate guide to hacking a CoinStar machine

Comment in News (7 diggs, 1 reply) - on 12/20/2007

Not only is this story a duplicate from a year ago, but its also advocating stealing. Another way to "hack" coinstar would be to roll your own coins and take them to bank. The kiosks that automatically count the change cost something and if you don't wa … (see comment)

The Six Popular Video Formats

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 12/19/2007

Great article. The only thing missing from the list is H.264 and and how it fits into the whole equation, but that is a more recent video format. Overall a great overview on the options that consumers have to pick from. (see comment)

Netflix buys Google.cm?!

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 11/06/2007

It's possible that Netflix owns this domain, but I wasn't able to find any whois information on it. I think it's probably more likely that someone else owns the domain, but are forwarding traffic to Netflix, as part of some affiliate agreement, either wa … (see comment)

Watch Hereos Season 2 Episodes on Netflix, No more Amazon purchases

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 10/18/2007

I think that this is smart by NBC because it allows non-DVR owners to get caught up on the show. Heroes is really good, but loses some of it's magic if you watch out of order. When I first saw that they were promoting Heroes I was really surprised, I fi … (see comment)
