NetFlix by VnutZ :: NR10

I used to be a downloader … everything I could have ever wanted existed over BitTorrent. But after taking one of the government entry tests that lumped downloaders in with nun-raping, child-molestors I decided it was easier to pay the monthly ~10 bucks and wait a day for a NetFlix disc than it was to be ineligible for hire. NetFlix may make money on their lazier customers that forget to mail the discs back and never get new stuff … but I’m like a fat man at a buffet on their service. $10 is a steal!

I ended up pleasantly surprised by how fast NetFlix worked, the vastness of the library and even better the ability to play a lot of material over the Internet immediately – to include many TV series only days after they aired.

Speaking of TV, I still disagree with the concept that downloading a show is illegal when they are broadcast publicly OTA and offered for free off the studio websites anyway.

Box Office by JyroBritanniac :: NR6

Where’s the option to go to the movie theater? That is my preferred video entertainment vector. If I had a screen half that size at home, then maybe I’d prefer one of the other venues.
