I think c'T is the closest thing resembling Byte magazine at its peak.

Used to subscribe to it when I lived in Sweden (both to keep my german language reading skills fresh and to enjoy the articles that tended to go into fascinating depth). Nowadays I tend to pick the latest copy whenever I pass through a german airport.

It's also a steal at 3.90 EUR for 200+ pages. And it's bi-weekly, not monthly. :)

Comment Netflix wasn't more than that? (Score 1) 574

I'm a European. I recently tried netflix using a multi-hosted VPN supplier. After all the hype I had been reading online I was sorely disappointed. It was very hard to find a movie that I would like to watch (again).

And then there was the technical execution. Silverlight? For real?

And not just silverlight.. it needs to load hundreds of thumbnails before it wants to start playing to stream, so that seeking can be done in a more pleasing way. Nice thought, except loading those damn thumbnailds takes several minutes...

I give this service a grade 2 out of 5. Meanwhile, you americans should check out Spotify, since it actually delivers...
