Idea for Netflix the Result of $40 VHS Late Fee
As the story goes, Reed lamented the $40 fee he was nailed with upon returning a VHS copy of 'Apollo 13' in 1997. Soon after, he began to research the idea of starting a rental-by-mail outfit. Interestingly enough, the subscription based model that nearly 10 million people enjoy today was something that came after the first concept, but obviously he hasn't tried to mess with the magical elixir very much since.

While we're on that subject, by putting an apostrophie on how's, you're actually saying "How is about a little background?" That slang use of 'hows' has no apostrophie. 'How about' alone would have sufficed. When people write these so called news stories, if they cannot use proper spelling (as John said, sense should be since), proper sentence structure, puncuation, and grammar, then perhaps someone else should be called on to write them. It's so annoying to see so called 'professionals' totally trash the English language. While were on that subject, the sentence beginning "Interestly enough" is far too long and should have been broken down into two sentences. Time for some new writers, Switched. No comment on the story, as it's just not interesting enough to comment on.
