First, Netflix/Quikster.

I wasn't as miffed as many others were when they decided to split streaming off from the DVD/Streaming combo and charge separately. Yes, the price went up, but not so much (for me) that I still didn't think it was worth the benefits I am receiving.

Then they got stupid.

It turns out that this move was the first step in a boneheaded decision to turn Netflix into two completely separate companies; one which does streaming-only and another that does DVDs by mail. I still wouldn't care except for the fact that they are going to trash the integration that makes the whole thing work well: the queue.

The way the system currently works is that you can see what is offered on streaming and easily remove it from your disc queue and watch it online and vice versa. Without the integrated system, users will now have to bounce back and forth between two websites to try to accomplish the same thing manually.

Dumb.

Stupid.

Idiotic.

This is probably the best thing Netflix could do to get me to switch to Redbox. If there's nothing I want to watch on streaming, just head out to Redbox and pick it up.

Also, Facebook unveiled their latest "upgrade" and it's anything but. Now they have what they guess are the most important updates that I'm interested in at the top of my news feed. What was it? A friend of mine posting about a pair of shoes. Is the all-important "Most Recent" button anywhere? Not that I can find. Somebody punch Mark Zuckerberg in the nose.
