Unlimited Plans
$8.99 a month

plus
Instantly watch online on your PC or Mac or right on your TV via an Internet connected Netflix ready device. Instantly watch as often as you want anytime you want.

does this mean i can only order 1 movie at a time but have unlimited hours watching on my pc
cause i read on another yahoo answer that u pay $1 for every hour or something!

That’s the plan I use and I like it a lot. I ordered the free disc so I can watch movies on my TV through my PS3. You get one movie at a time and they mail you a new one from your queue as soon as they receive the last one. You can watch online as much as you want. There used to be a limit and you had a certain number of hours you could watch online that was relative to the amount you paid each month for your plan (so you could watch for 9 hours with the $8.99 plan for instance). They don’t have every movie available online but they have a pretty good assortment. I was thinking of canceling Netflix but now I watch the online stuff more than the discs.

Customer Questions and Answers:
How do I add my mac as a Netflix ready device
I tried looking everywhere but no luck. I have checked the Netflix faqs and it is indeed possible to watch on a mac and mine meets the system requirements. I have read in a few places that silverlight is needed. If someone could tell me the steps that would greatly help me out. The Netflix FAQ is terrible.

First be sure to have Netflix account and then go to the Watch Instantly tab. After hitting Play on the desired movie it will bring you to another page with a player. On that page it will inform you if you need plugins to be installed.

Make sure that Flash and Silverlight are installed (you can find flash on adobe.com and silverlight on microsoft.com).

“Shared graphics 224MB ” doesn’t actually mean anything it doesn’t tell us what make/model the gfx card actually is so it’s impossible to make a call on it’s game playing ability. The fact that it’s using shared memory is a bad idea straight off the bat though it means the machine doesn’t actually have 1GB of RAM because the gfx card is ‘stealing’ a chunk of the RAM to use for itself. If you really must play games on a laptop and it’s a bad idea in general because only the most expensive laptops are any good for games then you need one that’s got a proper branded (i.e. nVidia or ATI) card that’s got it’s own onboard RAM and doesn’t share memory with the system.

Customer Questions and Answers:
Anyone know of an solution that can use an online storage provider as a source to a video/media server
Following onto AMAZON’s “Disc On Demand” announcement I would like to know how i could take my existing digitized video collection upload from my NAS and enable a similar online personal VoD environment. Ideally I would like to stream not download a video collection from an Amazon S3 bucket to a local DLNA Media Server/Application. Anyone know of a solution

The best way is probably through an HTPC or a Home Theater Personal Computer. If you decide on going this route I recommend building the system yourself. You will save quite a bit of money.

Customer Questions and Answers:
Selling on Amazon advice…
I’m a new seller on Amazon and I just sold two textbooks. I shipped them and everything.

But since I’m new at this I wanted to know the different advice I should know about being a seller.

I’ve done a little research and I’ve learned that some sellers are duped because a buyer would demand a refund of their money hoping that the seller would do so and not even send the book back.

OR it could be that the buyer had a worse condition of the book receive the newer book and demand a refund stating that they received the book worse than what was described. Thus giving back the book with the worse condition.

Not only that I know someone who sold a book on Amazon and now has to refund the money because the buyer said it got water damage which was not the seller’s fault AT ALL. And the book never had water damage when the seller shipped it.

What should I know being a new seller Is there anything I should know rules I should know things I should do to protect the book and advice I should know as well

Thanks ahead of time!

always use tracking number. If you print your postage online you can usually get tracking for only 19 cents (at least that’s been my experience with Endicia.com) even if you ship via media mail.

But you can also buy tracking (delivery confirmation) at the post office for 75 cents.

this means the buyer can’t scam you nearly as easily.

If they try to scam you with a swapped book fight them tooth and nail. You will end up dealing with their credit card company and they will ask you for information.

But please don’t worry too much about any of this. The vast majority of buyers are honest. Otherwise you wouldn’t see booksellers on amazon by the thousands . THey all would have packed up and left if it was so risky.

Customer Questions and Answers:
A question about amazon/ebay
Scenario: Someone has a faulty computer part. They find my ad on ebay/amazon and decide to buy a replacement part exactly the same make/model. They then send back the faulty part disguising it as the part that I sold them and demand a refund.
Result: someone gets a free computer part and I am stolen from.

How can I stop this scenario from happening.

make sure they return it to your goods with goods that you send and make sure also that the label is not damaged or the goods have never dismantled.
and write well in your ad what provisions must be adhered to the buyer you can create such items to be exchanged must not be dismantled.

I just read a review of the kindle in my newspaper. Everything was good except battery power. The ads claim it can last for a week but the reviewer said it only lasted 24 hours. If this isn’t a problem for you it sounds like a it might fit your needs. The link below leads to user reviews.
