Netflix discriminates against Mac users. Apparently they are offering premium services that Mac users must pay for as part of their regular monthly service fees. However the services are only available to those running Windows on a PC.

Recently Netflix even announced they are expanding their own digital download service. Now subscribers get all the downloads they want for no additional fee!
I have no idea how Netflix can support this. Surely the bandwidth has a
cost and the studios would want a fee for each download (Apple
supposedly makes very little on downloads), so I can only assume that
Netflix is doing this at a loss to promote their download service and
keep customers from defecting to iTunes. The interesting twist is that
if the movie studios are cooperating with Netflix to offer flat-rate
viewing, then that is something Apple could negotiate as well.
Unfortunately Netflix’s “instant viewing” feature is only for
Windows users as Netflix foolishly built their system upon Microsoft’s
proprietary DRM. This is a kick-in-the-teeth for Mac users who pay the
same subscription fees but don’t benefit from the service.

Missy can’t seem to leave Chris’ glass alone. It was so cute I just had to film a video of it.
Missy and her bow. She loves to carry things around in her mouth. I suppose if we were smart enough we could teach her to fetch. Right.
