A few ideas for Netflix…pro bono

I’m always going on and on to my wife about how a company could be more effective at a, b and c. Probably too much. Anyway, since this is my blog where I share my thoughts, here are a few things I’d like to see netflix do with digital distribution.

5 things I’d Like to see the iPhone Do
