Remember Qwikster? Wall Street doesn’t.
The AP is reporting this morning that the Netflix CEO will get a healthy pay raise in 2014. According to a regulatory filing, Reed Hastings’ annual salary will jump to $3 million, up from the $2 million he earned this year. His annual stock option allowance also improves to $3 million from the current level of $1 million.
It’s hard to argue against the pay increase. Netflix had a great 2013. The stock price is up 296% on the year. It’s trading around an all time high of $365. The stock was the top performer in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 this year.
The company isn’t raking in the profits, though. In its most recent quarterly report, Netflix only made $32 million. But Wall Street doesn’t seem to mind and so the company should stay the course raking in the subscribers and producing award-winning original content. Netflix just needs to remember to listen to their subscribers.
Just because Christmas is over, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still make some paper snowflakes. It is still winter in the Northern Hemisphere after all. And Sonia Harris of Comic Book Resources has just the flakes for you.
She has taken the time and used her creativity to come up with some awesome superhero paper snowflake designs. They come in Batman, Storm, Punisher, Wonder Woman, and Iron Man versions. They all look super neat and will certainly geek up your home.
They should be pretty easy to make. Once you’ve downloaded the patterns, you should be able to make these in about an hour or so. Then it will be snowing superheroes all over your house. It would be awesome to use real comic book pages when creating these too.

Aside from some recent smartphone related rumors, much of the HP related chatter has surrounded the Chromebook 11. Or more specifically, the recall for the charger. While the rumor remains … Continue reading
It’s New Year’s Eve and unless you’ve got children to tend to you’ll probably be partying well into 2014 this evening. And while normally sunglasses aren’t required for the middle of the night, these Dropshades are, since they feature a glowing pulsing EQ that stays in sync with whatever music you’re listening to. And, the next morning when you’re hungover and dodging the sun, you’ll be even happier you’re wearing them.

Google is expanding its pool of Explorers, slowly but surely. First it was people attending I/O; then friends of existing Explorers; now it’s subscribers to Play Music All Access. To celebrate the release of Play Music on Glass (albeit a little …
Google Music All Access users are reporting that they’ve received an email inviting them to join the ranks of Glass Explorers. (Here’s the sign up page you can try if you didn’t get the email.) As far we can tell it’s the first time Google has opened up the program to a subset of its users without demanding that they explain themselves.
