There's another solution called https://rabb.it/, but it also has HBO, Hulu and a bunch of other stuff, seems like a better alternative.


My girlfriend and I tried using rabbit but we weren't happy with the performance. Their implementation is actually to open netflix on a virtual machine GUI and use browser tricks to try to make it seem like you're just controlling the computer like its your desktop. The performance tends to be bad because there is two hops, from netflix to their servers, and their servers to you.


Also used it with my girlfriend. Didn't cause any problems, sitting on different continents (EU, US).

The only problems I experienced were with the sound slider.


How this compares to zepto? As far as i know, this is basically the same promise zepto does "A kind-of-jquery but faster (and only modern boys)"


If you read the actual page you will see there are comparisons between Zepto, Sprint and JQuery for a bunch of it's core functions.


Yes, performance comparisons, but those could've been measurements of no-op versions of functions by the same name.


Actually I just realized I could scroll with your comment!


Makes me remember the good old raptorize plugin: http://zurb.com/playground/jquery-raptorize


Exactly, we have to realize that those countries where the mobile penetration is ridiculous high, more than 95%, like any country in Africa, Asia and Latin America is basically driven by feature phones, and that will be the scenario for several years more.


The perfect tool for "smart" apps on feature phones, good work guys!
