John Hodgman & Netflix's Watch Instantly

Michael Rubin posted a funny exchange between a Netflix executive and Apple commercial star John Hodgman ("PC") at a recent conference:

I wondered what he was like in “real life” so I stood around while other people chatted with him. I didn’t really have much to say to him, so I didn’t. At some point one of the Netflix officers began chatting with him, so I moved in closer and the three of us stood together, me purely in a supportive role (nodding, usually). “Have you tried our instant watching feature?” he was asked by the Netflix officer.
“I’m a big fan of Netflix,” Hodgman said. “But… hmmm.. I don’t think I have. I can’t imagine why I haven’t tried it.”
“It’s easy, you click the play buttons you see on your PC.” Hodgman thought for a moment, sort of perplexed. I was dying to ask him the question, but couldn’t bring myself to say it outloud. But his silence said it all.
“You use a Mac, don’t you?” ask the Netflix officer.
“Yea… yea… that’s the problem…”

Like many of you, I'm wondering when Netflix will support Watch Instantly on the Mac.

Michael Rubin recently announced that he will be leaving Netflix. Rubin was the director of community experience at Netflix, a Netflix blogger, and an admin for the Netflix Community (he also wrote a book about George Lucas & Pixar).
