It's not easy to divert attention from Apple on the eve of Macworld, but give Netflix points for trying.

The company that turned DVDs into a subscription service for millions of consumers said Monday that it no longer will put a cap on the number of hours its customers can view movies and TV shows over the Internet.

Unless, as it happens, you're a mac user, in which case the number of hours of viewing you're permitted is FUCKING ZERO, despite my subscription fee subsidizing those unlimited hours for all the PC users out there.

I understand the market share arguments for why Macs get left out of stuff like this, but it's galling to pay the same price for less product. "Oh," they say, "but it's a free bonus, so you're not getting anything less!" Which is a load of shite. Extremely lame... they've had time to figure something out.
