Netflix and DRM woes

Vista and Netflix’s WatchNow feature don’t play nice together because Netflix and Microsoft want to reset all the DRM licenses for your other content, e.g., you’d need to re-buy or re-authorize all your iTunes movies. Well that sucks.

But Anthony Park’s MyNetflix plugin for Vista Media Center, does not.

Hooray Internet!

MobileMeh

From Princeton’s web dictionary:

Sync - (v) synchronize, synchronise, (make synchronous and adjust in time or manner) “Let’s synchronize our efforts”

From Apple’s MobileMe:

Sync - (v) to happily not do anything even though the human presses the “sync” button over and over and over.

As you can tell from the above, I am less than enamored with this “push” technology Apple is, well, pushing. I want to get my contacts and calendar from Outlook at work into my iPhone. Syncing my work PC up to the “cloud,” however, is apparently not working at all.  My initial guess is that MobileMe on the PC needs some sort of admin access, which is a Bad Thing.™ The program should be able to read contacts, etc., without needing admin rights.If that isn’t the problem, well then the software just simply doesn’t work and I paid $69 for a piece of cardboard (mobileme doesn’t come with a disk so I didn’t even get a decent coaster out of it).

I did get notification that an email arrived - and it showed up on both my iPhone and MobileMe site, which is good. But one out of three services that are magically supposed to seamlessly work together does not a quality service make.

Like the title says - meh. Hopefully they get the kinks worked out. Till then, it’s google calendar and contacts + blackberry for me.
