Netflix worked just fine through the browser on the TouchPad from what I've heard... Until the fire sale, when Netflix blocked it.
Hulu did this, not netflix. Netflix is silverlight based rather than flash which was never supported on the touchpad. Hulu worked natively in the webos browser and they pulled support for it. I guess their ads aren't enough and they won't let you use it unless they can monetize an app.

The answer is simpler than that. The ones who manage to get away with stealing the laptop despite being stupid belong to the 99% of cases that aren't reported in the news.
It just works out for them that their counterparts are equally unintelligent and would never think to install something like Prey in the first place.

The thing is £150 for a couple of motion sensors and a camera. If they're selling that at a loss then they're doing something VERY wrong.
I think you're not considering microsoft's r&d costs as something that may help $150 for each kinect sale amount to a loss when factored in.
