Yeah, just like it does Netflix...there’s a fee, it’s called Hulu-plus (I think) and you can get it for iPad or iPhone. We haven’t been out to a movie in a long time because we just pay the fee (I think it’s 9 bucks for Netflix and the same for Hulu.) The cost for a movie ticket around here, one ticket is 9.50...so for the cost of one movie for two per month, we can have dvd’s delivered via mail (netflix) or watch movies/television instantly online from netflix or hulu.
The amazing thing about Netflix is they often put movies online to watch instantly, the same time the DVD is released. I’m not sure what their criteria is for deciding which go online free, but I’m always surprised when I see it happen. IMO, the best thing about both Netflix and Hulu are not the movies but watching old TV shows that you watched as a kid and enjoyed. Or as I said was the case with my husband, catching up on a show you started watching two or three seasons into the series. You can go back and see what happened before you started watching.
True, there definitely is a period of adjustment when going from Windows to Mac, but once you get over the hump, you won't look back.
My experience exactly. I had never used a Mac until I bought one this year. It took me about 3 weeks to get comfortable. But it was a fun 3 weeks. And now I also am not looking back.
I wonder if we’ll see $100 netbook blowouts around Christmas (or after)?
