Surprised that websites are barely picking up on this, since the solution has been out for roughly two weeks now. Requiem works great and it takes a matter of seconds to complete, regardless of whether you're removing DRM from a book or TV show.

Glad to see Brahms finally getting some much-deserved recognition.

When I think of the term Netflix, I think of watching flicks on the Internet. I'm sure a lot of people don't look at it that way, but the term Netflix makes a lot of sense when referring to a streaming service (as opposed to a service that rents out physical media).

I know a lot of non-savvy people probably can't make that connection, but I think the company will make it clear that Netflix is no longer the place for DVDs.

I really, really liked the way Hastings wrote this post. It takes a lot to own up to your mistakes, but he seems dedicated to making Netflix succeed, and the decision to split the service into two is really... interesting, to say the least. I'll probably stick with streaming and forget about physical media, to be honest. It's much more convenient to drive to the Redbox down the street than wait a few days and have to deal with mailing discs back and forth.

Kind of glad to see video game rentals coming; too bad they're late to the party and will have to compete with Blockbuster, Gamefly, and Redbox.

This took their unprofessionalism to an entirely new level.

This is My Crunch with Arrington, Siegler, and Carr, anyone?
