Saying the world can seem both very large and very small is hackneyed; however, I believe we've entered a period of time when those two conditions are interdependent . 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...

Peter writes, "...it seems like Netflix needs to put in place a rule about how long one can keep a DVD. I just noticed four more films on my queue are now unavailable. I'm not sure whether they are kept by renters who hold them indefinitely or what the situation is. Because I am certain there are others who are in the same situation as myself, I think Netflix should enforce a rule that a DVD held...

Netflix knows where it's at when it comes to the rental biz; more and more, folks want to stay at home and watch movies instantly. We don't even want to wait for those happy little red envelopes any more. Nope, if it's not on our Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or computer, we get all squirrelly. (Okay, maybe that last part is just me.) And IFC is also on the cutting edge of home entertainment in its steadily...

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...

When Amazon's device was introduced at Princeton for classroom assignments recently, it received mostly negative reviews. Now the Kindle's budding classroom legacy is being challenged by Chegg , an online textbook rental service that just raised a whopping $112 million...
