Tom writes: I just noticed in my account info page, there is a section for "Netflix Player" with a link to "Register Player". If I follow the link, there is a form to "Add a Netflix Player", and it asks for "Registration ID" and "Name your box". I haven't noticed this before. I wonder if this is a new service that they are rolling out. Could this be something to do with movies-on-demand? Or do they have a netflix-branded movie player of some kind? Interesting.... Here's the screen he captured: Ian noticed a new genre: "I can't seem to find any information about it, but Netflix now has a "Downloadable" genre (with subgenres of Foreign and Drama)." Looks like we got an early look and possibly a name for the new Netflix movie download service. I'm wondering if the "Netflix Player" is a TiVo or possibly a new device. Anyone else see something interesting on the Netflix site recently?

YesNo Comments:	unmediated.av: The Weekly Show Today we would like to introduce a new way to get.info from the unmediated blog: the unmediated quickcast. Quickcasts are short, 1-5 minute "mini-podcast" (audio) versions of original, non-reblogged posts in the voice of the original author. They provides you with an alternative way of reading posts when you're not in a position to read. They also provide us with a way to practice and test some of the media blogging tools and processes we're working on. Unmediated quickcasts will show up as enclosures in both the unmediated full RSS 2.0 feed and the unmediated Weekly Show feed. We hope you find these quickcasts as informative as we find them useful. The Weekly Show resumes production, Monday afternoon at 2.00pm EST. We are working on a way to "open source" The Weekly Show, by putting together a basic program structure and technical infrastructure for allowing you to host the show on weeks that we aren't available. We're still in the planning stages, so we would love to hear your ideas on this. So please speak up and drop your thoughts in the comments section.
