However, the newly announced Netflix service is lame. The same service is already available from Comcast, without the dumb limits, and I never use it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

It's another example of the movie industry's lack of will to compete. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Plus, my TV is a Mac, and doesn't run Windows software and I'm not going to switch when my settop box already does this and as I said, I don't use it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

However, all that said, Scoble was wrong to predict the death of Netflix. They have a bunch of momentum, and they understand their users, something none of the others, including Apple, can claim. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

PS: For all we know Netflix is using the Verisign service that was supposed to, according to Scoble, kill them. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
