I put a NetFlix into my Mac, thinking I might enjoy watching it on the 40 inch LCD 1920x1080 monitor.

I got a warning box that said this is a previously viewed disc.

No shit, its a fucking rental videoI don't need to be hassled like this just because I'm not downloading movies from iTunes or some shit. Just play the damned disc already - and ( Read more... )
