How lame was all that interactivity where viewers would chat about the show in real-time?
What a crappy experience that was.
It's not surprising that it went away after a few choice trials (I seem to remember it was a geeky show on FOX). Now it seems some shows (Dexter?) are using their website or dedicated app to do those things now. Think of it as opting-in for the interactivity, those who want that can still have it.
My point is why step on the product with crap that takes away from from all that passivity...

Too bad my mod points went away or you'd get an insightful from me.
I think where even old-timers like me get confused with the big warning that said:
"Not to be used for identification purposes"

it's uncertain how much support and development HP will dedicate to webOS in the future.

Who says they're even supporting them now?
The web browser is seriously broken and I don't expect them to fix it.
Last I looked there aren't any viable replacements either.
You can't save a login and visited links do not work.
When you hit the back-button instead of going back to your place from memory, it renavigates back to the server.

Hey, for 149.00 that was what it was worth.

Another thing with that web browser, is it has no real back button. Every page is fresh load and it does not change visited links to red. No home page either, seriously.

Talk about sloppy...

Well they must've fixed it then because what was funny were all the reviews how the stream was broken. Just a sample:

08/16/11 This movie won't even load, when it comes up - it's already 5 mins in and just stalls out. I have 5mps service and never have connectivity speed issues, so something is definitely wrong with this file. 4 out of 11 members found this review helpful

I like having a one-stop place to look for all the rarer discs

Indeed, that is my feeling as well. They do have a lot of DVD's available which will never be on streaming AFAICT.
To get around that I have DirectTV with a bunch of DVR's and use their DirecTV2PC software to stream to any computer in the house.
If you spend like 20 minutes a week looking for things to watch/record it works well and I don't have to even deal with netflix's streaming.

Unless they're planning to sell off one or the other service, I can't figure out what they're even thinking by this dumbass move.

Maybe it's not too late for Blockbuster" to be popular again by buying "Qwikster"

I usually first go to Watch Instantly to see if the movie I want is there. If not I can easily add it to my DVD queue.

I rarely waste my time looking for streamed movies as they are so few in number anyway.
Just try to watch "The Andromeda Strain" as a stream. It's been broken for 6 months.

Why of all things QWIKSTER? Why not MailFlix/NetFlix. Much more in line with the service capabilities.

Dear Reed:
I don't know you and this morning you send me an email telling me you messed up but yet I have never heard of you. I have a feeling you messed up again and didn't think this through. So now I'll need to have TWO accounts? Please reply when you know what you really want to do.

Nothing like killing off your brand in a hasty fashion. Although I'll be curious to see how they do this I doubt I'll be sticking around much longer.

You get a gold star for your observation.
Thank You for your Thank You...

Very astute, wish I had points.

Wow so close to history TWICE that day.
Since I was only ten years old at the time I remember the the shootings but not this bit o' history. I did live around that area, I do know that hotel did turn really sleazy just a few years after that symposium.

Coincidence?...

Thanks for sticking with me. However, I always thought that painting them all up (especially like Southwest) is a real waste anyway. Between the extra weight of the paint to the solvents they use to remove the paint, just seems foolish for brandings sake.

Is it not true that they need to strip all that paint to test & inspect properly?

I am not an airframe engineer (obviously), According to Douglas Feith on NBC news (allegedly a former NTSB investigator), the paint does get in the way of their testing.
