Which is better to watch Netflix Instant with, Xbox 360 or TiVo? Does Netflix stream 1080p content to any device yet?
Stephen Mack, mjc, Alex Scoble and 5 other people liked this
Netflix has "HD" movies that look a lot like 1080i. For streaming, they look great to us. And we haven't had any issues with jerky or pixelated playbacks. Hopefully Comcast won't start to throttle us or something if we start watching a lot of stuff. Forgot to mention that we're on a PS3.
- Ginger Makela Riker
I don't have an Xbox so my opinion is pretty much useless: it works great on the TiVo.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I think they stream at 720p. Netflix on the Xbox is great. It has a party mode which is kind of cool. You can watch movies with other people.
- Rodfather
I use the 360. I like that you can search for movies from the interface. Currently theyonly stream 720p I believe. Although can use Zune for 1080p streaming.
- jamar78
oh ok...didn't realize they went up to 1080i
- jamar78
I don't know if it's truly 1080i -- but it feels like a little better than DVD quality. And it's not like watching standard def TV on an HD TV, which is what I thought it would look like.
- Ginger Makela Riker
Interesting. I tried Netflix on TiVo. It works fine, but I'm surprised there's no way to find and play movies directly. You have to put them in your instant queue from a computer.
- Cristo
Chris, my husband said the same thing about no search. Running to your computer to find stuff isn't ideal.
- Ginger Makela Riker
I watch it on my blu-ray player - no fan sounds and pretty good quality
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, fan sounds don't bother me these days. I've got all the equipment in the media closet except for the displays. :)
- Cristo
I watch it on my Bu-ray player too but don't care for the interface. Also you can't search.
- jamar78
Cristo, ah, in that case I like the Xbox interface better because of things like the Xbox Live parties, and all-in-one solution.
- Jesse Stay
It sux non HD
- orionstarr
from iPhone
Actually, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p are all considered HD. It's just that 1080p is higher quality HD.
- Cristo
Hey, if you watch part of a Netflix Instant movie through TiVo, and you want to switch to another movie, does it remember where you were in the first movie so you can start where you left off later?
- Cristo
Ahh I see...
- orionstarr

xbox lets you choose movies directly. Just top 50 per category but is much better than when it was nothing. I'm really happy with netflix on xbox. Netflix needs a lot more streaming content though.
- Hayes Haugen
We hooked a Mac Mini up to the TV with DVI/HDMI and run Netflix and Hulu in a web browser. Same price as an Xbox basically, and you get a whole computer, including iTunes. Highly recommended.
- DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, how's the sofa U/X for that? Are you using the Apple remote?
- Cristo
The PS3 Netflix interface is nice. It lets you browse movies via genre, top 50, recommended, etc Quality is dependent on your connection, but I think it will do HD (720p).
- Daniel Sims
Netflix still only does 720p as far as I know.
- Alex Scoble
Ha, no. The apple remote is unusable. We use a Logitech diNovo Edge: http://www.amazon.com/Logitec.... The trackpad isn't perfect, but it's good enough.
- DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, I have one of those too. It's huge though. I guess what I was asking was, can you just use Frontrow to drive watching movies, or do you need a pointing device?
- Cristo
Good question. I'm not using Frontrow. We just grab the keyboard and use the DVD player or the browser directly. I found the Frontrow UI to be too laggy to be enjoyable.
- DeWitt Clinton
The Apple TV interface seems to work fine, which I think is based on the same software. In my case, I don't really need to choose just one solution, because I have Mac mini, Xbox 360, and TiVo. I was just curious which people liked best.
- Cristo
You can also use Play On to access Netflix (along with Hulu, CBS, your local lib) through the Xbox, Wii, and PS3. It's not as nice as the Xbox interface, but it's another option.
- Rodfather
I'm thinking of dedicating an old Apple TV using Boxee for Hulu, etc, provided it's available. I don't think I'm blocked from any content, so now it just comes down to how you want to pay for it, and the UI for interacting with it. The only caveat to this would be DirecTV, which we don't have in our building. Being able to watch any NFL game would be nice.
- Cristo
I use Playon for Hulu on my Xbox - love it

I've had plenty of paid gigs that came through free work I'd done, but also found many people who value my work as long as it's free. One thing I'm finding is that charging for my work, even just a little bit or maybe through barter, is often the best way to ensure that people value my time and the product of my work.

And we're back! When it came out I disassembled it and set it in front of a fan that's on for a few hours most days. Since the battery was in it, wet, for 45 minutes before I did this, I didn't have high hopes... but I just reassembled it, and it works fine! ftw.

She was like the new prom queen—the one who millions of brainy, brunette girls who’d long since disavowed their interest in prom queens had secretly been waiting for. (Some guys, too.) It was Heathers (1988), a groundbreaking, unsentimental (and very smart and funny) film about a pair of high school outcasts (Ryder and Christian Slater) who wind up taking out a handful of the most popular kids at school, that first earned Ryder favored-actress status amongst those of the Generation Formerly Known as X."

"The nights are drawing in and winter should be on its way - but no one seems to have told Mother Nature. In the past two weeks, temperatures have been as high as 22 degrees in some parts of the country; but we've also seen 10 degrees, and there have even been hurricane winds and floods. So where does that leave your wardrobe? Come rain or shine, it seems that clever layering is the key to a successful look."
- RAPatton
"You just need a few key pieces which you can add to your outfit to carry you through the showers. A classic trench coat in navy or beige is perfect in the rain. If you are going for a real investment piece, then a Burberry mac is timeless. Otherwise, Zara, Gap and Topshop all stock great examples of this fashion staple. Tie the belt to cinch in your middle, or add one of your own belts for an original look. A shift dress in this season's muted colours of burgundy, navy or camel is ideal for daytime. "

"A really great chef knife will be insanely sharp, yet retain its edge easily, and be well balanced and welcoming to hold. These days a decent high-grade chef knife can cost between $100-$200.

CI recently did a review of gyutou knives (hybrid knives borrowing aspects from both Japanese knives and Western chef's knives) and threw in the Victorinox as well. It ranked third, placing behind two more expensive gyutou knives but ahead of a bunch of other expensive ones. It did say that the Victorinox is like a Honda compared to the winners' Maserati feel (paraphrased). I do think Cool Tools is off-base to say the Victorinox has a 15 degree edge, though.
- Andrew C
Oh, I forgot to say earlier - so I did a little websearching for more details on CI's top-ranked gyutou knife and found that as with nearly all things, the internet has forums for obsessive geeks who take things way too far.

BTW, the Gourmet Warehouse in Vancouver has the Accusharp manual sharpener, which is pretty sweet. You might or might not want to use it on an ultra-expensive knife, but for affordable western chef's knives it's terrific. Not quite as cheap as the price from the States, but {shrug}. My knives went from regular (and I hone them on a steel regularly) to sharp enough to cut tomatoes.

By no means a complete list. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
SCREW YOU HAGGIS... I wax me legs, I spend hours in the hairdressers and weeks doing my makeup for you... YOU BASTARD... I HATE YOU... *runs off sobbing*
- Johnny Worthington
Oh I have you in another list Johnny: Crossdressing Australians of FF.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Well hey thanks!
- Brandy Lea
Did I say I wear a dress? Oh wait, yeah I have in the 25 Things
- Johnny Worthington
*grabs popcorn*
- Josh Haley
Well I saw the Bra, so I only guessed at the rest of the ensemble.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
... one needs support for one man-tits or one will get a sore back... HEY! EYES UP HERE BUDDY!
- Johnny Worthington
You certainly grabbed many of them
- RAPatton
I should have been there.
- Nation Hahn
lol
- Cee Bee
Aww, I hope I'm not offending anyone by not including them on the list. Many times I just go by the avatar and if it's a cartoon or something it's hard to tell and I won't put on here, and also these are just *my* personal tastes. Everyone has different types!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Any woman with the brass to be on FF is a hottie in my book.
- Chris Baskind
Wow - that'd be a drag to be on a list like that. Still, as I always say, if you want to get a lot of followers get a hot chick avatar. It's sad but it's iJustine. True! I mean true. It's sad but it's true.
- Ciaoenrico
++ Chris!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Lindsay and Sarah I will agree with however I will not like this cause there is no MONA!

Sean, how could you miss Dee: http://friendfeed.com/holycool ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
What are you talking about? She's the last one on the fifth row. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
bow chick wow wow!
- Morgan Haley
@Kol, She's got a Simpsons avatar, and I don't see any pics in her feed?
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Yep.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
They forgot me....can you do a redo?
- @CrystalinaB
Honorable mention? (and I added you to my list)
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Yay! I'm married to a hottie!
- Chrimmus Tad
Whew, I'm glad I'm not on that list.
- Christian (Simply X)
Sean, what the hell is my sister doing on this list!?!

yeeha! Chris Baskind GREAT answer!

All I know is that when the boy's list comes out I better be on that or all hell is going to break loose!!!
- jamar78
Happy to see everyone there, a few in particular ;)
- Timothy Griffin
I'd hide it too, if my sense of fairness didn't kick in...So these are just women? Where are the MALE hotties of FF. :p ;)
- Helen Sventitsky
The picture is too small to see. Am I on it?
- Martha
@Helen Start up the Male Hotties list yourself! I find men hairy and repulsive. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOL MARTHA!!
- Mona Nomura
I wonder... Would I be on the male hotties list? :p
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
hahahaha.... when's the calendar coming out?
- Thomas Hawk
@Thomas hahahaha
- Shevonne
Ciaoenrico I kinda take offense to that. My avatar is me, it's my face and I shared it on FF after a LOT of thought about it (plus some gender confusion, but that's another story). Because a woman might be considered attractive she *shouldn't* user her face as an avatar otherwise she's just trying to get followers? Bull crap, and sexist to boot.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@Tina +++++
- Shevonne
@Sean, I couldn't agree more. :D Tina, YAY!
- Helen Sventitsky
Agreed, Tina. That certainly wasn't the point of this list - it was merely a way to point out all of my FF crushes at once. I hope no one takes offense to it. :(
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'm offended....I wasn't on this effing list!!
- jamar78
Sean, I'm not offended, personally. I find it rather amusing. The title of this post, to me, however, seemed rather "definitive". YMMV. :D
- Helen Sventitsky
I mean my sis' made list sheesh!!
- jamar78
I think I'm due for a new picture. I've used the same one since joining.
- Rochelle
Rochelle, you had that other one, the B&W one of you smiling. That was great, too
- Josh Haley
Quite a collection. There should be a male list too but then that could lead to a match-making game and apps being developed and other memes ... and ... oh dear ...
- Amani
I'm not a crush, eh? :P
- Tamar Weinberg
@Amani is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Creating that app? haha
- Shevonne
We totally need a boys list, totally. And I'll pretend I'm not crying in a corner over here.
- Bec Rowe @d0tski
I don't know how I feel about this...
- Derrick
Dammit.. I'm about to delete this post. It was not my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. :(
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I don't think it's a problem pointing out your crushes, hun. I think it's the fact that it's titled "The Hotties of FriendFeed" that can make people kind of uncomfy. That comes across as a direct judgment of peoples' looks, even though we know you didn't mean it that way.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
@Sean don't ever apologize for your actions.
- Shevonne
Okay, I think I understand.. Thanks Amanda.. I just updated the title, hopefully it will let everyone know that this is my own personal list, and by no means a judgement of anyone.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
It's not my scene, but hey...whatevs. It just feels a little meat market-ish to me. People aren't avatars, and I know a couple on the list who wouldn't be proud of being reduced to a FF hottie on someone's list.
- Derrick
Sigh..
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
This whole thing spun out of control rapidly. Impressive.
- Mike Nayyar
Okay, I hope this is better: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Derrick - But a lot of the stuff you post to the really gay room is pretty meat market-ish. Just because they're professional models it's okay to objectify them? We naturally objectify each other because we naturally are sexual creatures. I'm not offended by being on this list, but I don't like being objectified and I think what Haggis has done is a sweet gesture, not a gesture of blind testosterone rubbing one out.
- Mattie Kenny
Didn't anyone see me grab the popcorn earlier? That's your 1st clue.
- Josh Haley
I'm not offended at all btw :)
- Tamar Weinberg
Thx Matsie <3
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOL
- Pedram
Sean you created a monster didn't you....hehe
- jamar78
Ugh.. no kidding.. I guarantee this list will never be mentioned again outside of these posts. I think i'm gonna unplug for a while and let this all die down.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
ok i just now read the whole thread damnit i always miss everything lol joel... ::shakes head:: u kno to some i'm not a lil sister lol ur so funny i luv u!
- Cardeen Martinez
don't let it get to you Sean....all that matters is that you had no malicious intent which you didn't
- jamar78
**blushes** - gee thanks. :) And go hide for a while, Sean... it'll all blow over.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
nice list, i have about half of these in a group called "sexy people"
- sean percival
Mattie, any pics I post in the Really Gay Room are A) *in* the Really Gay Room, and B) pictures culled from sites that are meat-marketish to begin with. I would never post pics of Scoble or Louis Gray and say, "oh these are guys I'd like to see naked". And I'm not knocking Sean. I freakin' love Sean. But I also know that there are women on the list who've worked hard at getting to where they are in life and in their careers and to be thought of as a pin-up on FF isn't their bag.
- Derrick
It's about time you chimed in Leather...LMAO...love it...haha
- jamar78
Leather Donut, Don't ever change! :)
- Michelle Martinez
I second her notion...hehe
- jamar78
I don't see how posting this in a room would make it any different a situation, Derrick. I don't think that Sean ever said he wanted to see any of the women on the list naked. Is that something I skipped over while scanning the comments? If he said that, then yes. This list is pretty lame. But being admired for your beauty isn't bad. Especially since (for me at least) being a hottie entails being incredibly intelligent and engaging.
- Mattie Kenny
Mattie, that's exactly what I consider a hottie. Attractiveness is only part of the factor. Intelligence, a sense of humor, and many other things go into that equation.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I see a potential calendar.
- Paul
Mattie, I'm not going to fight with you over this. If you want to split ends, say I'm a hypocrite, or engage in double standards, feel free. I don't care. Very simply, I know people who don't want to be referred to as hotties. By anyone. I see them on the list. I speak up. That's it. There are 50 people in the RGR, maybe 20 people see it regularly. That's a HUGE difference than the numbers of people who sub to the home feed. But you know what? Forget I even opened my mouth. Apparently I've become a prude...
- Derrick
That's not what I'm saying, Derrick. Now I understand what you meant by putting the photos up in the RGR versus what Haggis did. Did these women speak up for themselves and say they don't appreciate being called attractive?
- Mattie Kenny
<3 Derrick.. I appreciate what you are saying, and think it's very commendable that you are seeing this from an angle I didn't really see. I know you only have the best intentions with what you are saying. Please no more fighting over this..
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I just happen to know them, Mattie. And I didn't say they didn't appreciate being called attractive. I said they, knowing them as I do, woudn't appreciate being culled up on a list and pointed out for the world to ogle.
- Derrick
Sean, you know how I feel about you bud, and I'm not putting you on blast. Consider my hands washed of it.
- Derrick
Mattie, how about you look at it from the flip side...those women who DIDN'T make the list and don't have the benefit of feeling all bubbly inside because they've been deemed "attractive"? It's all well and good when you're on the winning team, apparently.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
yeah Sean you are a good person....don't beat yourself up about it
- jamar78
Although you better take my sis' out this damn list!! hehe
- jamar78
Awesome post, Sean!
- George The Writer
Amanda - I don't think not being on the list deems you unattractive and I don't think Haggis is the be all end all of who is or is not attractive. Wow. I'm on the list. BFD. I don't feel or bubbly inside, nor did I take it very seriously. It didn't blip in my radar until I saw people taking major offense to Haggis having posted the list, in which case I looked at it & was surprised to see myself there. I'm not on any "team".
- Mattie Kenny
Haggis, I love the conversations you spawn... feel free to include me in future provocative topics. ~xxxooo~
- Far
I would like to state for the record, should there be a men's list...I would like to opt out. That is all, thank you.
- Christian (Simply X)
Ok gents, let's show the ladies how we roll. (and can someone email me that info ahead of time, so I look like I know what I'm doing?)
- Morgan Haley
Oh too funny. Thanks for including me, Sean. ;-)

And the winner for best line from this entire thread..."The picture is too small to see. Am I on it?"...@Martha. thank YOU! I am now cleaning cola off of my keyboard.

Ok my cat is really pist off...didn't make the cut...gees! LOL
- Susan Beebe
Aaaw, Sean! <3
- Nia
This list is approved, mainly because one certain hottie is the better half :) Sean, not only do you represent a great product, but also exceptional taste. Sir, I owe you a drink! ;)
- Matt Harwood
I'm amazed that neither Lisa Bettany nor Sarah Lacy are showing up in any of these clique building seminar visual aides.
- Matthew DeVries
Ok I am not the brightest crayon in the box so I want to know how the hell do you see a list of people like that. I have different lists but where do I go to see all in just that one list?
- Brandy Lea
Brandy, you see this view when you go into one of your lists then select to Add/Remove friends.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think what Brandy is asking is if she can see someone else's list, which we can't. Haggis might have made a list that is friendfeed.com/list/hotties and he'll see it when he's logged in, but no one else would see it if they went to that same URL. He wouldn't even see it if he logged out and went to that URL.

Glad I didn't make the list lol
- Jeunelle Foster
I don't think I was subscribed to you when I made this list, Jeunelle. This is almost a year old! :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Don't misunderstand what I mean. I mean I am thankful I didn't make the list period. PRAISE THE LORD :)
- Jeunelle Foster
We should have an Academy Award of FriendFeed or something. That I would have a long ass speech prepared telling everybody how I'd like to thank all the little people who were responsible for me winning that award and it should be sponsored by Mashable and FFundercats :)
