Netflix Macbook beta program

November 25, 2008 19:59 by author

I just installed on my new unibody 13" Macbook the beta install of Silverlight from Microsoft which enables Netflix movie playback on a Mac. The install took less than 2 minutes and since I already had the first season, DVD 1 of Dr. Who in my queue, I was streaming the Netflix movie to my Macbook in seconds. Although I didn't have a chance to view the entire episode yet, it's bath time for the kiddo's after all, I can't give it a fair "it works" but if the successful and quick install, coupled with the super fast buffer and immediate launch of the episode, have anything to say about it, it looks like Netflix streaming to the Mac is a thumbs up! A full report as time permits but if an entire episode works flawlessly, there just might not be much to report regarding the technology. Now, if only Netflix could use the same Silverlight technology to stream their movies to my iTouch!

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.
