Netflix streaming down on some devices due to Amazon issues (update)
By Bryan Bishop on Email @bcbishop
inSIt hasn't been the best year for Amazon Web Services, with the suite of cloud computing products taking down numerous online services in 2012 — and on Christmas Eve here in the US, yet another problem has taken Netflix's streaming services offline. The issue, which first surfaced after 1PM PT today, appears to be centered around the AWS center in Northern Virginia. According to Amazon's status page, the company began investigating problems with its own services at 1:50PT PT. As pointed out by GigaOm, Netflix cloud architect Adrian Cockcroft confirmed on Twitter that AWS was the reason for the streaming problem. There's no timeframe yet for when Netflix streaming will resume as normal, though Cockcroft does note that the problem doesn't exist across all devices. We'll keep you updated with any further developments.

Hollywood unit
By Joe Flint,
Amazon.com Inc. is legendary for trying to know everything about
its customers. When it came to its entertainment unit and the executive
in charge there, though, the company appears to have fallen down on the
job.
