Is NetFlix getting too flaky to do business with?

[kestrell]

I changed my membership to just streaming a month or so ago, before the changes in plans went into action, and yet NetFlix jus sent me a DVD. This morning I received an e-mail saying tha if they don't get their DVD back within seven days, I'm being charged $14.95.

So, on top of getting flaky self-justifying e-mails, I'm financially liable for their mistake? Due to my low bullshit threshhold, I think I'll be cancelling this membership completely.

Ho! Gruber delivers on the chasm between Apple and Adobe: [context is that Steve Jobs' time outside Apple was at NeXT computing; Mac OS X was built from the NeXT operating system]

begin quote  NeXT’s operating system graphics system was built entirely around Display Postscript, a technology NeXT licensed from Adobe. A former NeXT developer told me the terms were such that the source code for Display Postscript never left Adobe’s campus — to work on the code, NeXT engineers had to go to Adobe and work in an isolated room with no outside network access. There are people at Apple who remember this arrangement vividly, and not fondly.  quote ends
