October 30, 2008Netflix aims to take over the world
Netflix has had a busy week. First up was an announcement that they would be bringing their streaming video service to Macs, with the service now in closed Beta but expected to be available generally by the end of the year. Netflix will be using Microsoft's Flash competitor Silverlight to allow Mac users to stream Movies and TV shows from their website. You will need to be a Netflix subscriber to use the service, of course. [via: Boy Genius Report]
Netflix also announced that they would be bringing their streaming video service to Tivo set top boxes as well. Tivo has previously had partnerships with Amazon's Unboxed service to provide downloadable Movies and TV shows, the streaming Netflix service now gives Tivo users even more options to get onlline content onto their HDTVs.

Last up is word that Netflix will begin streaming HD video to Xbox 360s, which had previously already supported standard definition streaming. I'm sure that Tivo and Mac users hope that HD streams come to their devices soon as well. [via: Gizmodo]
