The Kindle Fire: it’s not as bad as you think
I have a smartphone and have, unfortunately, become very attached to it. I use it mostly to surf the Internet, and streaming video has also become a recent favorite.

Is this the beginning of the end for Netflix?
A few weekends ago I was looking for a (hopefully great) movie to watch online. My first destination was Netflix, but I was quickly reminded of the recent removal of Sony titles, a collection which was among its best available. After looking through what Netflix actually does have available, I decided to move on to [...]
