this tech news summary in my inbox today was a nice juxtaposition

Analysts see a rough road ahead for Netflix

The fact that Netflix (No. 13) lost 3.3% of its domestic subscriber base in just one quarter and that its stock was down 44.2% in just a single day to around $74 per share in mid-Tuesday morning trading, is a chilling sign that Netflix business performance and subscriber problems will only escalate, say industry analysts. Netflix hit an all-time high of $304.79 per share just three months ago.

Amazon's sales jump 44% in Q3

The third quarter earnings story for Amazon.com (No. 1), the biggest online retailer, was a familiar one. Total sales are growing at a blistering rate but net income continues to shrink as the company sinks more money into expansion and new business development.

i love when we all sit around pretending we know jackshit about the business world and stocks and stuff

not knowing jackshit about the business world and stocks and stuff is... no impediment at all to making money off of it.

which is why we're all making tons of money off it

Which we would, if we all bought Netflix stock now and it went back up to its $300 high! (Which it won't.)

Well I hope you guys didn't.

Problem is it still is/was priced based on expectations of high growth. Yesterday we found out they actually are losing subscribers, which is way worse than just not growing really fast, obv. I guess the case for buying would be that they're going to grow internationally, but it's kind of hard to guess whether Netflix will take in, say, Latin America in 2012 the way it did in the US years earlier.

To be clear, the reason I said "hope you guys didn't" is that it fell a fuckload since that day, over 30% drop just yesterday.

god we're good

its okay to buy stocks that drop 30% in a month if they gain more over the long term

hey lets talk about stocks like fucking assholes

hey man stocks are people too be cool

i'll believe stocks are ppl when etc

guys, this is not a matter that can be settled in just one thread revive

we need at least four "3 months pass..."es in the narrative before we can decide which ilxor is warren buffett

that and a wdyll pic featuring a money bath

The iPhone app has always been streaming only. It's sort of annoying
Not to be able to manage your DVD queue from it, but far more annoying that titles that are available as streaming but added as DVDs do not show up in the streaming queue.

had cancelled my dvd by mail when the new price change went into effect. today i cancelled the rest of the service too. just not enough films, esp when you've got hulu/on-demand/tcm what have you.

that's tmc obv

you had it right the first time

oh shit. you're right. lol.

got an email from my bank abt sending them some info for my halfway activated brokerage account, lol I have a vague memory of drunk one nite being all maybe I will buy some of that Netflix stock u jerks, tho I totally don't recall actally attempting and failing to open a brokerage account

hah

loll

ha

pretty sure that's how reed hastings makes all his decisions too

Drink booze, invent quickster

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2011/11/netflix-to-bring-back-arrested-development.html

BUT you can only stream it from a different web site: www.arrester.com
and there will be a slight price increase

its a uh poorly constructed model website where all the episodes live together shit

bring back party down and all is forgiven netflix

^^ was gonna post this, it's the logical next step.

iirc party down got canceled cause all their actors got better jobs

glee's on a downward slide, ratings-wise...i love parks & rec but do i love party down more? idk i'd need to ruminate seriously on that

party down > p&r, no contest

their finale on starz got like 16,000 viewers or something insane acc'ding 2 adam scott. i think it was more ppl jumped ship when it was clear the writing was on the wall

it is deeply, deeply tempting to buy a shit-ton of Netfliz stock

I can't believe it won't go back up

It's looking right now like we should have all followed this advice.

Ayuh.
Up 30% I think.
Fuckers reneged on renting games tho, thanks a lot

anyone else notice a bunch of stuff bounce out of their 'saved' section? i read speculation on the criterion forum that this is prob just netflix lowering its threshhold of what they take out of circulation rather than acquiring new physical copies of things, which i would think is right but ima move several of these up my queue

has anyone watchedhttp://cdn-8.nflximg.com/en_us/boxshots/tv_sdp_s/70221438.jpg?

I just noticed that this morning on the inside of the Netflix envelope! It surprised me because I'm still watching the Sopranos and was like WAHT

also curious about this.

watched the first five minutes, seemed awful

like the first scene is two mobsters at a funeral just giving unveiled exposition

and it has that 'showtime' look to it

i've been curious about this show, too ... it definitely looks like sopranos-fan bait, whatever its quality.

and it has that 'showtime' look to it

wth is this about. It's like every show is transferred from NTSC to PAL and then back.

idk it's really bizarre, fwiw homeland doesnt look like that, so they are capable

it's always been that way too, going back to that Sherilyn Fenn show, Chris Isaak show etc.
