I was about to post a comment, but I had to go buy a cup of coffee with a credit card. Did I miss anything important?!

Yep, they're like credit cards. Great for an occasional boost when you really need it, but you'll pay it all back sooner or later.

Yep, I was right.

I like the part where everyone dances. :sniff:

Smiling? Heck, if it's anything like the 2008 version, I'll be lucky to get through it with a dry eye.

I just bought the blu-ray set, and I concur. I really didn't think I would be so bothered by the updates, but there is something so incredibly jarring about seeing CGI'ed versions of the classic animatronics (or worse: seeing both juxtaposed).

Re: The problem with Netflix streaming

Chris Radcliff — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:58:49 -0000

This is an interesting indicator, but you might be confusing popularity with demand. You are definitely confusing what viewers want with what benefits Netflix.

How much of what gets viewed on Netflix is represented by a top-100 list? I'd wager it's less than one percent of their total, DVDs and instant combined. In other words, the long tail is loooooong, and that's what Netflix streaming is good at giving you. (Or good enough.)

I watch Firefly on Netflix because it's easier than finding the DVD on my shelf. That's an insane level of convenience. There are tons of things I'll try on Netflix because I can start the show, watch it for a few minutes, and switch to something else without even the tiniest hassle.

Viewers want that same convenience for absolutely anything they want to watch, but Netflix only needs to give them enough to justify the $10/mo (or whatever) they're paying for the service. Does Netflix streaming deliver that? Yep. Do they overdeliver? Yep. Do they care that you stop by a Red Box for something on that top-100 list? Nope, because then they know it's not worth their money to pursue it for streaming. Will they still give you the opportunity to get it the slow-by-mail way? Yep. For now.

I've been doing the same thing. I've almost completely eliminated Google from my life.

Can't wait to receive my BeagleBone. It's sad all those cool new dev boards are so limited in their availability (BeagleBone, PandaBoard, ...)

Just wondering if you've found any reasons to suspect data mining of your notes since you posted this article? Thanks.

Re: The value of a hand made thing

I still have the hats my Grandmother knitted for me. A cherished moment was seeing my 10 year old's nose wrinkle at the 'uncoolness' when I pulled one down over his ears...then unwrinkle when I told him 'Gamboo made this for me when I was your age', then seeing him run outside yelling 'Hey guys! Look at my hat...' He gets it.

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Maybe. But that's cold comfort to firms that spend fortunes designing the next big running shoe or handbag only to see it knocked off in a matter of weeks. Lookalike consumer goods, while often amusing in a ...
