According to the Verge article, it's not. You'll have to buy the seasons individually or get the disc via Netflix mail service.

Nooooo! I'm sure this screws up a lot of people's TO-DO lists, like it did mine.

The final line still rings true: "So there you have it," says Helms. "The camera cell phone. Another example of technology's amazing power to improve your quality of life at the expense of everyone else's."

I guess this only works if you have a cell phone plan with unlimited SMS. Otherwise you're looking at a phone bill of thousands of dollars!

From TechCrunch:

"When you are building Web apps — and especially when you are debugging them — all the subtle differences between the different browsers start coming into play. Testing on every single browser is a hassle and there are no good tools available that help you easily automate these tests, partly because the different browsers’ developer tools can’t talk to each other. Mozilla, however, has now built an adapter that allows it to connect the Firefox developer tools with Chrome and iOS to help developers test their web apps there right from Firefox."

IMO, the scrollwheel should have never gone away! This seems different though. They call is a "Crown" and it rotates parallel to the side of the watch, rather than perpendicular like the Blackberry wheel. Not sure how natural that will feel.

Amazing! They synced up the virtual world with the actual movements of the rollercoaster. The only thing left is to add Leap Motion for your hands, and create a seriously awesome super-hero game.

At the very least, they can detect that your browser isn't accepting cookies. They might interpret that as Privacy Mode.

The article refers to browser "fingerprinting" referred to in this EFF research: https://panopticlick.eff.org/browser-uniqueness.pdf Curious if browser companies are working to remove the traceability of their browsers (other than Google, of course).

Looks like they use a fairly simple edge-detection algorithm to make this happen. Pretty amazing how complex swarm behavior can emerge out of such basic instructions.

Reminds me of the recent Visual Microphone algorithm that researchers found, which recreates sound by looking at micro-vibrations of objects (ex. potato chip bags and house plants).

I love how the Internet of Things is just about ready to plunge into the "Trough of Disillusionment"

I've had the same experience where I've been downvoted because my comment goes against the prevailing group-think of the site. This has a chilling effect on contribution of new ideas to comments, which thereby reinforces the group-think. It's a vicious cycle. I'm very hesitant to post comments now for fear that they will be downvoted for no good reason.

I'm looking through their bug reports and developer message boards all of the time... and I've never seen anyone abbreviate it as anything other than "FF".

As a small business owner, I applied for a patent that could protect my startup's key innovation. I am actually glad that the patent "reform" as shelved. IMO, it is a far bigger threat to small business patent holders that a tech industry giant would ignore / steal their IP, than to fall victim to a patent troll. If the proposed legislation goes through, simply trying to protect your own property could end up destroying you if you are forced to pay for the legal costs of the deep-pocketed industry player.

If you ask me, Mozilla is already over-committed with Firefox OS... So much so that they are looking for ways to make more money to hire more programmers (read: sponsored tiles). Google pays them 313 million / year to be their default search engine. I wonder if they're spending that all on Firefox OS, which may not be generating any revenue for them. If creating a desktop operating system also doesn't generate any revenue, it would be just another drain on their resources.

I am looking for a cofounder who specializes in web development (javascript, CSS, some back-end). My company has developed a new browser, called PolyBrowser, that could represent the next evolution of how people browse the web. Current browsers, which limit you to using one website at a time, were designed 20 years ago. PolyBrowser lets you work faster by stitching your websites together side-by-side like a panoramic photo. You can zoom out to see the big picture, or zoom in to see the details. (polybrowser.com)

It's rather far along, although we're still in stealth mode preparing for launch. There are many aspects that need the assistance of a talented programmer. Contact aaron.travis (at) polysuite.com.
