If Netflix can deactivate clients based on device size; that'd be pretty neat. People on tablets–Netflix on my Nexus 7 is out–would usually be watching stuff alone (kids may huddle around an iPad though) and for Christmas, a movie on a large screen is probably more important to keep going.

Makes me think that apps should consider using Push notifications to tell consumers about issues; e.g. instead of a cryptic error number; say something like "Netflix servers are overloaded at the moment, NetFlix may not work on your mobile device".

Not sure if that will piss off people more, but something like that instead of an error number would probably be better.
