I am somewhat a tech junkie for those who don’t know.  Although I may not always have the newest coolest gadgets, I’m simply fascinated by advancements, innovations, and breakthroughs in technology.  Right now Netflix is of interest to me as they continue against the grain of good ol’ fashioned cable.  Among the leaders of the internet TV movement, they are spearheading the campaign to unlimited, on-demand content availability via the web.  Needless to say, I like it!  I’ve been impressed with companies like redbox and their business model for simple, cost-effective dvd availability but as with much of today, these other concepts are simply side roads on the path to our new cloud reality.  In Wired magazine’s latest issue, they highlight Netflix’ bold moves and risks here.
