Dangerous Knowledge
No, I am not talking about the Kabbalah or subversive rabbinic commentary, rather I am talking about Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” feature. We are Netflix members and I always saw that feature, but I never bothered to learn what it was until I read David Pogue’s article. See, there is a purpose to newspapers. Somebody has to pay people like David Pogue to write his interesting columns. Well, it turns out that with the Netflix subscription that we have we also receive unlimited streaming video from Netflix. The selection isn’t as big as their DVD selection, but it is a great compliment and Pogue’s column describes all of the different options of harnessing this developing technology. I’ll rationalize its use for a day when I am sick and just want to lie in bed and watch movies all day.
