Netflix has lost 800,000 subscribers in the last three months, according to numbers released as part of the company’s third quarter financial report on Thursday. The streaming-and-DVD site is down to 23.8 million users as of September 30, 2011, compared to 24.6 million users on June 30, 2011.
What?! How is this possible? I don’t get it.

I think the better question is who does trust Microsoft? Seriously? I mean outside of the majority of Americans who honestly just don’t know enough to even ask the question, who within the tech world can actually tell me that they trust Microsoft not to screw something else up?

At its Build developers’ conference this week, Microsoft shed some light on its upcoming Windows 8 operating system—the first to work on tablets with touch from the start, and by all accounts a dramatic shift from its current Windows version.
