This is a discussion we have in new media all the time -- who is famous, and what use is fame now? Paul F. Tomkins (thanks Wil ) is a fine comic and well-known, but I wouldn't call him famous. And yet, he manages to get enough people...

Variety reports that Netflix has added the first batch of 53 independent films from IFC to the 18,000 streaming titles. The IFC titles are available immediately on Netflix streaming, and include The Thin Blue Line, Following, and Return of the Secaucus 7. Hmm...

This has to be the collector in me saying this, but whenever I or someone I know misplaces a game box (usually the latter), forcing me to forever hold onto a loose disc, it drives me up the walls. Not to the point where I go out and specifically buy a green- or white-colored case, yet it's still annoying at any rate. The Netflix streaming Blu-ray disc falls somewhere into this scenario, and since they...
