Has Netflix sunk its own ship?

So, I’m reading the poll results and it looks like nearly 60% of the subscribers are going to bail out on Netflix because of the claimed price hike. I really have to question why. Sure, it used to be DVD and VOD were bundled under the same plan, but let’s be serious here that was way too damn cheap for Netflix to really make any money and we all knew it wouldn’t last. That was to get you hooked and thwart competitors. $16 a month is still insanely cheap for the entertainment Netflix offers. Let’s put it this way, that is still less than going to the movies one time with a date/spouse/vagabond. For that same cost you get thousands of TV shows available at the click of a button and tens of thousands of movies including the latest releases. Any price hike is going to rub people the wrong way, but let’s keep this in perspective. If you only […]

Job Search Day 3 – I might have a lead

Its times like this when you should take a moment to pause and reflect. You should be careful of who you shit on when you’re climbing the corporate ladder, you never know who you’ll meet on the way back down. Some former colleagues of mine are looking for a guy to do some tech support and they heard I was available. We talked over some details and I went in for an interview. I didn’t bomb the interview or soil myself so that’s a good thing. It would be working with Exchange 2010 and several other server apps. It could be interesting but I would have a ton to learn. It was pretty cool site and several of the guys I used to work with are there now. That alone could be interesting. I guess we’ll have to see how this turns out.

EA to Acquire PopCap for $750 Million or more

The maker of Plants vs. Zombies, Bejeweled and a slew of other casual games is going to be part of the big EA mobile frontier. Electronic Arts has bought up PopCap for nearly $750 million with estimates ranging into the billions for the whole deal. Seems like a hell of a lot for a little puzzle making company, but PopCap has a pretty impressive catalog of games. So does this spell doom and gloom for the small development house or will this propel them to bigger and better things? Keep in mind that Bejeweled is about on every platform out there and Plants vs. Zombies is right behind it. Do they really need EA or is it the other way around? Also, have a look at what Microsoft could have bought them for … EA Acquires PopCap Games for $750 Million Report: Microsoft missed out on acquiring PopCap Games

Job Search Day 1

Anyone need the skills of an out of work QA Tester and former tech support engineer? Anyone? Maybe I can work the popcorn machine at the movie theater… Blood hell Monster is a complete SPAM site. Nothing but BS ads and scams galore. It’s amazing this is a legitimate business. Or is it? I signed up for LinkedIn. My god, what a security nightmare that site is. Let me go ahead and publicly list all the companies I’ve worked for and all my friends. Is there any additional information you need to impersonate me? Why in the hell do people sign up for this crap?

Terraria on sale at Steam

Terraria is on sale now at Steam. It was originally listed at 75% off which is when I got it for $2.49. But just minutes later it jumped to $4.99 which is 50% off. Not sure what’s going on there, the game is on sale but it’s a gamble as to what price you get. If you want to check it out now is as good a time as any. Even 50% off is worth it. Terraria on Steam
