It?s always slightly flattering when a ten billion dollar company tweaks its business model just to please me. Well, ok, that?s a slight exaggeration: not just to please me, but to please me and the other writers at TechCrunch. I?m referring of course to Netflix?s decision to offer a streaming-only subscription package; the first time they?ve allowed members to view movies online without also having to pay for a bunch of DVDs in the mail. It?s obvious why they?ve made the decision now. Clearly, as avid TechCrunch readers, they read MG?s post about how his purchase of a Macbook Air has killed the optical disc. ?Oh crikey? they said (in an inexplicably British accent) ?if that?s the way the world is going, we?d better act quickly, or risk being left behind.?
