"Netflix just took a giant shit on Blockbuster online."


  

          

Now I'm off to watch Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion.

http://lifehacker.com/software/netflix/enable-netflix-watch-now-movie-streaming-on-any-account-242325.php

If you've been eagerly awaiting the day that you can try streaming Netflix videos straight to your computer, but their new "Watch Now" feature still isn't enabled on your account, your wait is over. Weblog UneasySilence details how to enable Watch Now in your account... right now:

* Log into Netflix.
* Click on "Your Account"
* Look for a small graphic on the right column that says "How can I watch movies on my PC?"
* Click the "Start Now" link, and voila, you have a new tab next to Queue.

You can also just follow this link once you've logged in to achieve the same results. There are downsides the the Watch Now service - for example, it currently requires Internet Explorer, and the video quality isn't all top notch, but there's a lot of promise here. — Adam Pash
