That's 99% the reason I was using Chrome instead of Chromium or Firefox.

Yeah, same!

@JaredBusch said in Binge Watching:

TV shows and novels are horrible comparisons in the way you are both using them.

This was the point I was trying to drive to, but clearly missed. The closet I got was when I said it takes me 8+ hours to read a book, and a TV show is 30-60 mins. These types of entertainment are not really comparable.

It's better to compare a typical comic book to a TV show. Though a comic probably doesn't typically take 30+ to read.

Oh, I didn't realize that it had released. Cool. Sometime I'll get a chance to check it out.

Saw it advertised as new release when i signed into Netflix late last week. So it is recent.

lol. I couldn't care less.

I wonder if Keezel would bypass this?

Basically a hardware device doing what Hola does.

Roku 3 was totally worth the money.. To bad it's made me less productive already.

It is worth the $$... And saving us about $80 bucks a month in cable fees... Our TV bill was ~90 bucks a month. We completely dropped Cable TV (still have them for their awesome internet!)... I don't count Netflix since we've always paid for that... but we got Hulu for $8 a month, and SlingTV for $30 a month)... (Sling TV offers a few live channels, like TBS, Disney (and XD and Junior), History Channel, Boomerang, CartoonNetwork, and a few kids channels in our package.

@scottalanmiller people still pay to play EvE online, which is just another job. Trust me I know

Way too much time and money spent on that game. So much fun.... so much work :(.

Good stuff.

The license restrictions, though, for content are by location of the viewer, not the nationality of the viewer.

And that's what's got to change. Ultimately, geographical restrictions are not compatible with the modern world and we need a new model.

That is completely true. They are draconian and senseless and that is why many people accept them as a tacit approval of piracy by the studios.

Once we get that fixed, we are going to have all these odd posts with extra last letters in them that no one is going to understand.

ROFL yup, pretty much....
