Well that is 14 minutes of my life I will not get back. The Drag & Drop queue demo is around the 13 minute mark, but there is nothing worth seeing here.
I am sorry if that sounds too negative.

It's about time Netflix got a drop-n-drag queue. Now where are the 1/2 star ratings?

Netflix Faces Suit Alleging Web Tech Patent Infringement
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
May 7, 2007 3:18 p.m.
Netflix Inc. (NFLX) said on Monday that it's facing a lawsuit alleging patent infringement of Web site technology.
Netflix said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the complaint alleges infringement of SBJ Holdings 1 LLC's patent covering the display of pre-customized content associated with visitor data...
The complaint, filed April 9 in Texas, seeks unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages and interest and fees. It also seeks to permanently enjoin Netflix and others from infringing the patent in the future.

Yeah, Rick. That story is tenuously related, at best. ;^) Patent lawsuits, ugh. When will people wake up and realize that patents need to be abolished - along with the stupid drug prohibition? Intellectual property is just a bankrupt idea for coward companies who can't compete or innovate in the market. You can't steal an idea, because you can't own it. The whole concept is absurd, as is the idea of a corporation (legal fiction). Ideas should be free as air, to anyone who can copy, reverse engineer, or independently discover them. If you can't create on-going value, you have no right to a government-enforced monopoly.

I shouldn't give this more attention, but I just have to point out that SBJ apparently filed suit against Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble, and a company called Netflex (with an "e") Inc.:
http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-txedce/case_no-2:2007cv00120/case_id-102351/
Now, either SBJ Holdings (widely hailed for their internet technology prowess... everybody knows SBJ Holdings!! Didn't they invent the electric DVD rewinder?) can't afford attorneys that can spell, or Rick is desperately clinging to any possible bit of news that can help him in his years long battle against arch-rival, Netflix. Don't worry Ricky, I'm sure you'll get that windmill one of these days!
