'Arrested Development' Comes Exclusively To Netflix

First time accepted submitter Xondak writes "The cult series 'Arrested Development' is being resurrected and brought exclusively to Netflix streaming subscribers. This marks the first time a major studio has produced first-run content for the streaming service and perhaps this will afford other opportunities for cancelled Fox series. Firefly, anyone?"

    And that's why you don't use a one-armed man to scare someone.

    What we need is a congressman to stand up against SOPA. The next step would be for that congressman to run for president of the United States, I bet that candidate would be tied for first in Iowa, and a strong second in New Hampshire by now. Just to add icing to the cake, he should be a veteran, hell make him a doctor too.

    Apple would love to sell movies and apps from the iTunes store without DRM.

    You've just got to love how the fanboys will speak for a corporation as if they have any standing to do so. It's pretty arrogant really. It also flies in the fact of the fact that they clearly benefit from the arrangement.

    You've got to love how people can present the logical fallacies of ad hominem and implicit statement in a single paragraph. It's wonderful how initially a poster presented as fact that Apple was leveraging DRM on music to make money as their business model, then when that was shown to be completely wrong, someone else asserts how, with a nearly identical business model Apple is benefiting too much from DRM on movies so they would not abandon it. I mean, did you even read the thread or can you not make that simple of a connection? And clearly anyone who thinks Apple is a corporation with a razor business model instead of a blades business model makes then a "fanboy".

    They could also allow for 3rd party DRM implementations if they were willing.

    Sure, but it would make for worse battery life on the hardware, leading to the brand being diminished. That's the whole point you seem to have missed, Apple makes money on the hardware. If you don't understand that you'll constantly be making incorrect predictions and assertions about their motivations and actions.

    But a woman can't be president. I bet she barely has time for the cooking and cleaning as it is.
