Oh, Netflix. You're still pretty awesome but some things are putting our relationship on shaky ground.
They give several hours of viewing movies online, even with my little $5 a month account. Great, right? No, you have to have Windows Vista and Internet Explorer to use it. Whopee doo.
And now I noticed that they are daring to predict what rating I would give a movie. It's a little funny actually. National Treasure: Customer Average=3.8 Our best guess for Tamara=3.0. In other words, most of our customers liked this crap but we're guessing you won't be so big on it. Not so far off but I would rate it a 2. Lost in Translation: Customer Average=3.3 Our best guess for Tamara=3.6. Not like I can even give a portion of a star, even so that movie is definitely a four star. Like you know, Netflix. I wonder what kind of crazy algorithm they use to come up with this stuff?
