  on The Cost Of Permission Culture: Or Why Netflix Streaming Library Sucks Compared To Its DVD Library
  "(Then again, I think the error message "we've only got 30 copies of this movie, and they're all currently in use" would probably annoy the heck out of me.)"
  
  If your local library supports ebooks, you will see that error message if you wish to checkout a popular book. I got tired of it and just don't checkout anything from ebook libraries anymore.

  Thousands of DVD players with a robotic loader in a central office (think Areo) is likely not cost effective.

  Management *and* Hollywood are killing Netflix

  on Massive Exodus From Netflix Over Fee Increase
  I'm not a subscriber since I spend too much on entertainment already (i.e., cable TV), so take my comments with a grain of salt.
  
  If I could have convinced my wife to drop cable TV, I would have sign up for the DVD plus streaming service. But there's just not enough available on streaming to make the new price worthwhile. We used to be hopeful and check the streaming listings on my Apple TV when my son visited since he has a membership. I don't recall ever finding anything on Netflix streaming that we weren't willing to wait for the DVD.
  
  Anyway, it's not just Hollywood that wants to kill Netflix. Between the price increase and this latest Qwikster boneheaded move (http://news.yahoo.com/netflix-separates-dvd-streaming-businesses-122052917.html), management is doing their best to kill it as well.
