I happened to click on this story about an Amazon Web Services cloud service outage – apparently Amazon hosts Netflix.

Funny line in paragraph #4 (emphasis is mine): “Netflix users started reporting problems with the service's Watch Instantly service on the afternoon of Dec. 24 - meaning many people couldn't try out Netflix on their new gadgets, or avoid family members with whom they did not want to interact.”

LOL!
