Neil Hunt's Comments on VPN use NOT being restricted as of January 2015
From Netflix chief product officer: “The claims that we have changed our policy on VPN are false,” said Neil Hunt. “People who are using a VPN to access our service from outside of the area will find that it still works exactly as it has always done.”
Interesting. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/09/why-netflix-wont-block-vpn-users

Tools - Photoshop
I noticed when watching Episode 1 of Defenders, each main character's scene has its own unique color palette so I made this visualization by averaging out the color of every frame to show this.
The Logos depict each of the main characters in the show:
Dragon - Iron Fist
J - Jessica Jones
L - Luke Cage
D - Daredevil
A - Alexandra Reid
Edit: Here is a version with the scenes separated by character: https://i.imgur.com/8Ub0RYh.png
This is similar to "The Birth of Sake" documentary available on Netflix. I found the process very interesting, and the amount of the workers' lives they choose to dedicate to living in the production facility to monitor the sake 24/7 is uncommon to say the least. https://www.netflix.com/title/80050064
I really enjoyed the Barkley Marathons, even though I don't have any particular interest in ultramarathons.
I watched it probably a year ago, but it looks like its still available.

However, Netflix only has a few episodes and they pick which ones to have. ondemandkorea.com has EVERY episode: http://www.ondemandkorea.com/take-good-care-of-the-fridge-e159.html
A boiling river in the Amazon. tl;dr of the story as I heard it on Weird Wonders of the World:
Back in conquistador days Spanish explorers went into the jungle. When they came out one of the many stories they told was of a boiling river that killed any living thing that fell in. Some guy heard these stories growing up, went into geology, and asked around about it. Nobody in academia knew of any such river so he gave up. He mentions the topic among family in a "too bad it's not real" way and his aunt says "but it is." She takes him to some locals and he takes a trip to see it. It totally is and it is boiling, not just pretty hot. It's way hotter and larger than anything else in the area and they're not sure yet why/how that much geothermal activity is going on at that spot.
e: Wow, I thought I got in late but it looks like a lot more people enjoyed this than I expected. Cool. I guess I'll pay less attention to overfull comment sections in the future.
oh and in case you forget, he has a new movie on Netflix, despite Netflix firing Kevin Spacey... just saying.
OP said 'to stream Netflix', and he/she is correct. IE will stream in 1080p. I use Firefox with a ton of add ons for everything else, but I use IE for Netflix.
What I did was create a shortcut on my desktop for IE. I found an icon online for Netflix and used that for my shortcut. I set IE's home page to https://www.netflix.com/browse
Now it just looks and acts like a Netflix app.
You can setup an additional profile just for her. That way it won't mince your recommendations.
Then, to clean up your own profile, you can remove the stuff she's watched and get your recommendations back on track:

Normally it wouldn't matter but I'm gonna have to verify with it coming from you.
Edit: I verified it myself. Trust no one. Keep your enemies close and Ben & Jerry's closer.
>Hutchins is due to appear in court later on Friday, when he could plead guilty or not guilty. If he pleads guilty he could be sentenced to a short prison sentence or supervised release. If he pleads not guilty, he will be moved to Wisconsin, where the charges have been brought, to face trial, which could start any time between three months and three years, Ekeland said.
This is the main reason we have so many people in prison.
"You can go to trial an do thirty years if we convict you or you can plead guilty and do three years.
"If you plead innocent we are going to hold you in jail for three years until your trial."
EDIT
This is something every American needs to see:

You should check out the documentary "The Search For General Tso's Chicken" its on Netflix. It's a pretty good documentary on Chinese restaurants in America and this recipe. https://www.netflix.com/watch/80011853?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2C96e3e8afc3d4f0bdf3f56c9a7aa29d987e8c9302%3A054edcecb4c778f8b732622f91756f0528c2fd70

Europa Universalis 4: Catch up On Your Netflix Backlog While Playing On Speed 5
Since the patch I've managed to finish off Breaking Bad (WHY HAVE I FUCKING WAITED SO LONG TO FINISH WATCHING THAT?)
I must thank Paradox for giving me something to do while catching up on my Netflix backlog. I love waiting 15 years so I can play a game! I used to enjoy playing smaller nations. Now I play as larger nations beating up larger nations and spending 30 minutes waiting for truces to expire.
If you can't sense the scathing sarcasm in this post I'll clarify: I'm being scathingly sarcastic to this asinine EU4 multiplayer balance team. Your game is boring as all fuck, do something about it.
You can already kick everyone out here: https://www.netflix.com/ManageDevices?fullpage=true
I doubt they would make it easier (the way you suggest) since they don't exactly encourage sharing and they also have different tiers with more streams
One episode of the Netflix documentary series "Chef's Table" tells an interesting story about one of these parmesan banks. There was an earthquake which caused a ton on wheels of cheese to be partially damaged. A chef came up with a recipe which basically required a ton of cheese, and spread the word to get other restaurants to pick it up too. In doing so, he was able to increase the demand temporarily to help the cheesemakers from going bankrupt.
There's a little bit more info on this on this ycombinator post.

Man, I thought that was going to end up like the Bernie Tiede story.
Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Dazed and Confused, School of Rock) actually directed an adaptation of Tiede's story in 2011, here's the trailer. The film was called Bernie, appropriately enough. Jack Black, in what is probably my favorite role of his, played Tiede. He really was very good in it. To be completely honest, I had no idea he could pull off a role like that. It also stars Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughey, who both turn in fantastic performances as well. It's a fascinating story and worth a look, for sure.
It's on Netflix US, if anyone is interested in checking it out. I highly recommend it if you're into quirky, off-beat, character studies or true crime films, though this is a bit more light-hearted and more of a black comedy, in my opinion.
Edit: I would also recommend not reading the wiki or watching the trailer (both linked above) if you have any plans to watch the film. It's so much better going in blind.
Primer. It's a movie about 2 guys making a time machine by accident. And then things get really, really weird. If you can figure out what happened the first time you saw it, you're either a genius or someone explained it to you while you were watching.
I highly recommend watching The Barkley Marathons documentary on Netflix. Only 18 people have completed the 60 hour straight race since 1986.
Out of the people who finish it very few are professional runners. It comes down to being physically fit, but mainly having a strong mental agility.
Other places to watch it. It is one of the best docos on Netflix right now.
Three recs off the top of my head:
An Honest Liar is a documentary about James Randi, a retired magician and debunker of paranormal/supernatural claims.
That Guy...Who Was in That Thing is about several character actors who are recognizable from their work, although often not by name. EDIT: Apparently this one is no longer on Netflix. Still highly recommended if you can find it.
No No: A Dockumentary is about Dock Ellis, a pitcher who primarily played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 70s, and once threw a no-hitter while tripping on LSD.
Or accept Netflx's open offer to work with them to install OpenConnect appliances in Comcast's own datacenters at effectively no cost to Comcast. This would allow Netflix to stream content from directly within Comcast's network instead of from external locations through peering points.
But this will never happen since it would compete directly with Comcast's own video on demand services...
The funny thing is the rating system is still there on Netflix's backend and it's still working perfectly fine. It's just Netflix removing it on all platforms they could.
I still use the star rating today. I use the Netflix app built-in my TV (this app is never updated), it works perfectly fine and it doesn't have the thumbs up/down, it still has the stars-ratings. New release still get the rating from Netflix and I can rate any title just fine. The new ratings I set using the TV app appear correctly on the Netflix's MoviesYouveSeen page

Outside of his immensely successful career as a solo artist, he was a touring/session musician in his early days. Credits, perhaps, too long to list here. Most notably, he played guitar on one of my favorite albums, Pet Sounds.
Also, check out his documentary, I'll Be Me, covering his legacy, as well as his Alzheimer's diagnosis and final tour:
Love Bo, lots of his songs are great and criticize the average person/fan/artist. Should also check out kill yourself from his Netflix special Make Happy
There are scenes in The Hunt (awesome show!) where wildebeasts, wild dogs, and other animals are targeted by crocodiles at their watering holes.
These animals are always anticipating being eaten by the crocs. Always. Those scenes really make you think about what it would be like to live your entire life being ready to spring up and literally run for your life in a split second. Being an animal is scary as hell. Humans would have PTSD if they had to live with that shit.
Auschwitz - The Nazi’s and the Final Solution besides being an amazing and harrowing series has interviews with a member of the Sonderkommando, really highly recommended to everyone.
> Nothing in this show is an accident. Every single frame is methodically calculated.
You'll go crazy if you think this way. Watch <em>Room 237</em> if you doubt it. Accidents happen all the time on film sets. Sometimes they make the filmmakers look like geniuses; sometimes they're just continuity errors. I've worked in film and television production for over a decade, and I've seen plenty of both.
I'm not taking anything away from the show. It's clearly well thought-out and well executed. But it was still thought-out and executed by human beings, who make mistakes. This could be foreshadowing, or it could be the camera operator, DP, and/or director thought it was a nice shot.
IIRC this documentary was on netflix too... i'll have to go check, but that sounds really familiar.
SPEZ: Holy shit it is on netflix...2016...George Soros invests in Netflix...
Seventeen years here. 17. I rated everything on Netflix, no matter where I watched or rented it. And Netflix's predictions were almost always spot on. Up/down is not nuanced enough for them to keep doing that.
You can still see your past star ratings here, but there's no easy way to export that data that I know of. And who knows if it will remain available.
To save my ratings in some way, I scrolled all the way down, letting it auto-load my entire history (which crashed Chrome but Firefox handled it), and then saved the page as HTML. Sadly the HTML doesn't seem to have a machine-readable way to extract star ratings, which are images and code that doesn't obviously correlate to a rating (at least when the page is not being loaded dynamically from Netflix's servers). I also printed to PDF as a way to save at least the images of the star ratings.
There should be a better way to save ratings, but it would require API access that doesn't seem to exist (at least anymore) or automated page-scraping skills I don't have.
This gif comes from the BBC series "The Hunt". It's in episode 4, titles "Hunger at Sea". This is the link to the episode on Netflix. It may also link to the exact time code the sequence starts at, but if it doesn't, it begins just before 5:00 in.
I seriously suggest you watch the entire series. It's one of the most gorgeous nature docs I've seen, and the intros are just something else entirely. And it's narrated by the lovely Sir David Attenborough!
And Trump id getting ready to waste more.
And the War On Drugs ain't helping a bit either.

It's because all Hillary cares about is winning. Like virtually every politician. They all act like they're OK with losing and they just want the party to have a good candidate to make the country a better place. But the reality is, that's not what they want.*
If you're interested there is a documentary about the author and his book on Netflix. He is heavily interviewed in it. It is very well done. American Anarchist FYI the book you bought might not even be the real book. There are lots of knockoffs.
You can, dude. Enable "Manual Ordering." Perhaps it requires a desktop web browser. Go to your account settings, click "Order in My List" under your My Profile section and then check the "Manual Ordering" option.

"The Cuba Libre Story" on Netflix
Edit: Netflix said I would rate it 3 stars, I gave it a 4.
Like others have mentioned, not the best but a good place to start and it does focus on the tactics used by Castro and why he was able to defeat Batista.
Doesn't seem anyone has posted Netflix's joke. Netflix Live Will Arnett (think Lego Batman) ~~moderating~~ narrating a bunch of random things. Search for Netflix Live.
Let's also not forget that this set piece killed 9 civilians. Who's reporting on that? Do they have family, how many were children?

Here is a link to the doc "The Thread" on Netflix that chronicles the witch hunt on Reddit into the Boston Marathon Bombers. It forced the CEO of Reddit to issue a formal apology. This is why certain forums make me extremely uncomfortable with the way they "investigate" cases.

This may be a one-off for this particular area, but this is by far not and isolated incident. Check out the documentary, Plastic Ocean on Netflix, if you haven't already...it's shocking.

Fan of the first album here, too. So many great tunes and has there been a more succinct bit of wisdom than "mediocre people do exceptional things all the time"? I think not!
The box they've put themselves in with their videos since "Here It Goes Again" is that they've had to come up with ever more elaborate productions and they're so visually arresting that you don't really hear the music. It's not that the songs are that bland, but that you're too busy looking to listen.
I realized this was their hitch when I noticed that I could barely describe the music of bands I was seeing at festivals if I shot a lot of photos. I'd be so focused (heh) on capturing the visual energy I didn't have bandwidth to really listen. This is what these overkill OK Go videos cause. It's kinda sad for them.
For a look at the grueling work that went into their viral hit, "Upside Down and Inside Out" (the one where they're weightless in the airplane), check out Gravity Is Just A Habit (Netflix link), the 19-minute mini-documentary about the production. All that fun-looking hijinks ain't much fun to produce.

His shows are amazing and filled to the brim with great cultural commentary like this, while still managing to be hilarious. The end of Make Happy gave me stronger chills than anything else I've ever watched and What was hilarious and surprisingly deep considering his age at the time... I cannot recommend both of his specials enough.
Links above go to Netflix. It's worth investing some time if you're on the fence.
I thought the original documentary missed it's own point. Lying to your kids about sex is much more damaging than access to the internet.
You might like Circle. It has a lot of characters but they dwindle quickly. It follows the theme of people finding themselves in a mysterious situation that they try to find their way out of.

The Search For General Tso is a great documentary about Americanized Chinese food and the Chinese-American experience. It's a really fascinating documentary. I'd highly recommend it.
The same sort of thing happens in the Orthodox Hasidic Jewish community. There's an incredible documentary on Netflix about it called One of Us that I highly recommend. It's also a similar situation in Scientology, although there are fundamental differences. In Scientology, the ideology is what reinforces the abuse by rationalizing the separation of child & parent and treating children as adults (with adult consequences) in all situations. Other orthodox religious sects are complicit in abuse because they are such insular communities that shun the outside influence & law in favor of their own religious law. These types of sects favor their own religious laws over the criminal justice system and will use all of the legal tools at their disposal to manipulate that criminal justice system into keeping domestic abusers in households with kids. There was a good example in One of Us. There are many examples of abuse in Leah Remini's Scientology and the Aftermath as well.
Point being, we cannot allow this kind of abuse to go on. There is a difference between freedom of religion and the cover-up of systemic violent & sexual abuse perpetuated by the organization itself.
Someone hasn't seen Troll Hunter...
Seriously though, found footage movies CAN be great. It's super cheap and easy to make one though, so they're 99% terrible -- all Blair Witch and/or Paranormal Activity ripoffs. Once in a while, you find someone who actually cared about what they were doing, like Troll Hunter or Mr. Jones (amazing 2/3 of a movie, acid trip of a third act that tears it all down).
"Money for Nothing" (available on Netflix) is a much more accurate and informative account than Hollywood's dramatized version of events. These events are recounted in "Money for Nothing" by the people who were directly involved with making these decisions:

It's a series instead of a film, but if you haven't seen it yet definitely check out Stranger Things
Furreal though, "Mitt" is a very cool documentary that gives a unique insight into a presidential campaign. I suggest anyone interested in politics watch it.

Ever seen "Sneakers"?
As I recall it basically does this as a light-hearted espionage comedy in 1992.
Edit:
It's also on Netflix (in the US, at least).
What you just described is already happening. Netflix has deals with Verizon and Comcast(as mentioned in the article), and have a program in place to place content caches in ISP networks to improve speeds.
Jeselnik's Netflix special was fantastic and I recommend it because by all means I share his dark humour. But that part I really disagreed with - speaking from experience, it doesn't mean nothing.
I survived the terrorist attack on Utøya, and just knowing that people were expressing their compassion really was a comfort for me in that surreal time, just like I'm sure many Parisians find such tokens of sympathy as the modified Reddit logo to be a comforting expression of solidarity.
I don't understand the analysis that says that expressing sympathy like that is superficial or self-aggrandizing. Nobody implies or believes that such expressions are acts of heroism or superior moral fiber. We all know they are tokens. But they do serve a social function - both for victims and for the world that has witnessed the disaster.
Edit: That said - good satire like Jeselnik's was a far better comfort than good intentions. Good satire does require talent and effort.
So I contacted Netflix just to let them know if ads became a thing, I would be canceling my service immediately. The person I was talking to proceeded to tell me I could go here, which is the "test participation" settings, where you can opt out of test participation (it looks like the promo commercials are this type of "test" thing, so hopefully if you have seen the promos, this would cut that out). He also says to make sure you change the settings for each profile (it's not just one setting for the whole account). Just wanted to throw it out there for you all.
P.S. if for whatever reason, that link doesn't work, just get on the Netflix help center/chat and ask them how to opt out of test participation.

Related interesting netflix documentary: Meet the Coy-wolf.
It's technically about urban wolf-coyotes. But close enough. They're basically dogs, right?
Obviously this conflicts with previous news that says only Season 1 (eps 1-13) would be released on June 30. Something even the placeholder page for the show says right now
So I tried to clarify which was correct with Netflix's Help Centre and the person I talked to over chat couldn't completely confirm things but believed we were getting the complete series.
I watched the Sugar Coated documentary on Netflix.
Lots of contributions from Gary Taubes and Dr Robert Lustig - it drew parallels between the sugar industry and the tobacco industry.
Recommended watch :)
Check out the documentary Blood on the mountain.
It is an interesting look into the lives of people who rely on coal so much that they look the other way as it kills their families.

Making a Murderer, seriously check it out if you haven't seen it, it's long I know but so worth it.
I love true crime and really any long form documentary series. I think it came out thanksgiving weekend and all my time off was spent binge watching it.
I want Netflix to dive head first into documentaries and start churning them out.
Our overlords (the Oligarchy) is very pleased to see us divided because it keeps them in power.
They can criminalize vast swaths of Americans and use us as slaves in the prison system.
JC Penny would go out of business without a prison population.
Because without slaves in American prisons our economy might collapse.

The title of Ava DuVernay's extraordinary and galvanizing documentary refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States." The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.
Watch 13th on Netflix to see where this all has led.
I thought it was extremely biased and a lot of the claims made have been debunked by medical professionals.
Personally I've found In Defense of Food to be the most balanced and informative documentary on this subject. Nutritionfacts.org/ is also an excellent resource in my opinion. They have a bunch of videos on YouTube worth checking out.
For anyone that cares I only found these on netflix.

Tangentially related: The Search For General Tso is a great doc on Netflix about the origin of this and many other "Americanized" Chinese dishes, explaining the history of how Chinese immigrants were largely forced into restaurant jobs and combined their own style of cooking with things Americans liked, like in this case, fried chicken.
Early in the doc they even bring some General Tso to China and everyone looks at them as if they're crazy. It's pretty good.
I just wanted to first say thank you to everyone helping with this - while the movie hasn't been found yet, I appreciate all the suggestions. Here are a few more details than can help track it down that may help :
the movie was in English with no discernible accents (i.e. no southern drawl, no British accent). It was a cast of unknowns, with the lead woman being of anglo-descent with shoulder-length or longer brown hair.
the home had no immediate neighbors, it was surrounded by trees but not in the deep wilderness. The home was like a smaller farmhouse-style home.
the flashback in the movie was 'bright', as in it used very '70's colors for the bathroom and bedroom. Think yellows, khakis, light brown. The modern scenes were 'cooler' - think light blues and light greys.
We saw this movie at home, between 2009 and 2013, in California. We saw this when our daughter was an infant/toddler, and one of the reasons we cannot remember the name is because we were sleep deprived at the time and the movie started off fairly mediocre. It wasn't until the protagonist started to piece together her memories that it 'snapped' us out of our sleep-deprived haze and we started to REALLY pay attention because it unexpectedly got good.
the movie was over 90+ minutes. We would put on movies instead of TV shows because they were longer and we could 'doze' off and not have to worry about waking the other person to change the movie.
the 'closest' movie we came across to the one we are trying to find was The House Of Good and Evil ( https://www.netflix.com/title/70305010 ). It has a 'feel' and look similar to the movie we saw.
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!
What would you say in response to Netflix offering (for free) to embed appliances at the various Comcast and Verizon NOCs that would act as a CDN, thus cutting out the need to saturate any peers, and then them [major ISPs] rejecting the offer to install the OpenConnect system?
Then Netflix would just do a nightly push/pull of 5-10TB of data to keep the CDN current, and pay for that traffic at normal co-location rates. It seems that Comcast/Verizon/TWC subscribers would be pulling that data regardless of the CDN, so why not just work with Netflix on a clear solution to the problem?
Google Fiber opted for the OpenConnect CDN, as well as a few other large-ish, regional ISPs.
I would say that Netflix is right to blame these carriers for not cooperating with trends in the industry to alleviate major sources of traffic. ISPs do this themselves in caching a multitude of things that are frequently accessed, including site-caching and partnerships with Google Global Cache (GGC).
That they refuse to play with Netflix with identical solutions indicates that they are hoping to put an undue financial and technical burden on Netflix, such that it becomes cost-prohibitive to operate and thus prevent consumers to buy the service at a reasonable rate. It only indicates that they [the ISPs] wish to offer competing services, and the only way they can win is if they cheat their last-mile customers out of a quality product.
I think this is it, I live in USA so I know this is good.

edit: I'm a jerk that threw the wrong context statements together. I'll still leave the link for others.
There is actually a movie-tv-thing on Netflix where they attempt to answer this, and actually succeed in moving a statue quite a ways. It is called Mystery of Easter Island: NOVA.
I am a white sixty one year old and this bothers me and has been bothering me since I was seven.
It should bother you too.
Believe me there is indeed systemic racism.
Watch "13th" on Netflix if you don't believe me.
I am sorry this is still going on, but the last thing any of us needs to do is excuse it.
Hang in there, but by all means avoid rope burns.
I just finished watching Trophy Kids and although I know these parents exist, I couldn't believe how seriously some of them take their kid's sports.
We have some annoying parents around our little league field, but perhaps I don't live in an urban enough area to see these types.
> Netflix generates huge amounts of wasteful, redundant traffic and then refuses to allow ISPs to correct this inefficiency via caching.
He is so full of shit. That is exactly what Open Connect is. The ISP would only need to provide data and power to the appliances. Verizon charges nothing.
Not a movie, but worth watching. It’s about the Unabomber.
Check out “Manhunt” on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/80176878?s=i&trkid=13752289https://www.netflix.com/title/80176878?s=i&trkid=13752289
Can't figure out how to link to the actual episode on Netflix, but theres an interesting documentary called 'Cooked' that has a section that goes into some of the science behind fermentation of beer, cheese, and chocolate. The episode is titled 'Earth' on Netflix, I'd recommend the others as well if you are a fan of cooking in general but that is the one that deals with fermentation.

I'd second Brew Masters about Dogfish Head, great show that was cancelled all too early...
If it annoys you, I suggest checking out this for something that does the source material justice. I honestly can't wait to tell some of my friends who like Depp that he can't hold a candle to that series' version of Murder on the Orient Express.
Please watch this and share this with everyone you know.
It is on Netflix and it is 13th.
The West Wing:
Season 1, ep 10: In Excelsis Deo
Season 2, ep 10: Noel
Both really really wonderful Christmas episodes!
Go to Recently Watched (https://www.netflix.com/WiViewingActivity), find an episode, and click the button to remove the entire series from your history. Starting/stopping an episode before doing this to bring it to the top of your history will make it easier to find it if your history is really long, especially since your whole history isn't loaded until after you scroll, so doing a find might not work.
I just recently stumbled upon the Netflix show Medici: Masters of Florence, which incidentally I thought was very good. It stars Richard Madden (Rob Stark from Game of Thrones) as Cosimo de' Medici, and Dustin Hoffman as his father Giovanni. It will be interesting to see if they stretch this out to cover the different eras of the family dynasty. If anyone is familiar with both the show, and the real history that it covers, I would be curious to know how closely Season 1 tracked with real history.
Also a TV show, but Person of Interest is fantastic. It starts out as a procedural, but turns into an amazing look at the ramifications of AI surveillance in today's world, with apparently some very well researched "computer-y" scenes. Yes, that's a technical term...
The first four seasons are on Netflix now and the fifth and final season is starting next week on CBS. The creators knew it was ending as well, so it has a proper finish instead of getting cancelled on a cliffhanger.
One leg at a time.
This is not a fluke. Somebody wants our police departments the way they are.
If you really want to see how badly we have been lied to about the police officers roll in the US watch:
13th.

Plenty of options to choose from:
For watching on a desktop/laptop, you can easily find a free movie streaming site. These places are really good. You could use chromecast or a HDMI cable to connect up to a larger screen.
For watching movies on a Playstation or Xbox, Amazon Prime (aka 'instant video') have a free trial. But ok this is not completely free as it renews into a subscription. Then there's the Netflix App too if you're going to pay it's really worth it from a price-quality perspective.
For watching movies on an Android mobile phone, or a smartTV, you can use the Kodi App. The quality is amazing and the library choices are vast.
It also allows you to become a slave if convicted of a crime.
>Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
This has led to mass incarceration in the US where prisoners toil away for pennies a day making products for stores like J C Penny.
I've been watching the show Trollhunters on Netflix. Anton Yelchin is the voice actor for the main character. It's a really cute show...but strange and sad to think it's the voice of someone who died way too young.
Did you know that the inventor of the Segway partnered with Coca-Cola to help make this machine, so that in return Coke would distribute his water purification system to countries in need?
Edit: the documentary on Netflix that filled me in, highly recommended!

What the hell, Guardian? That factually happened. Here's the documentary about it on Netflix.
