Not Lovin' It

Its a story you've probably heard before:

1. girl takes pictures
2. girl sends picture to hubby
3. hubby leaves phone in McDonald's
4. McDonald's clerk uploads pictures
5. girl sues McDonald's

The website apparently posted the photos along with her contact information and home address. The resulting phone calls and harassment forced the Arkansas couple to move. They are suing McDonald's for $3M in damages.

Whats up with Netflix's delivery queues?

I've been a customer of Netflix since 2002. In all that time, the most I've ever had to wait for a movie in my queue is "short wait" which usually equated to one cycle (receive and return) of movie viewing. More often though movies have been immediately available, even the new releases.

Recently though all of the shows I want to watch are marked "very long wait." I realize that these new releases are popular (Kung Fu Panda and Hellboy II) but that's never been an issue in the past. So what's changed?
