Netflix Deliveries Back On Track After Outage

Netflix deliveries were returning to normal yesterday after a computer glitch caused a 3-day disruption, Reuters reports. The company plans to offer a 15% credit to the millions of movie lovers affected by the glitch, whose cause is still a mystery. The outage, the worst in Netflix history, is believed to have cost the company close to $2 million, which isn't expected to hurt the company's bottom line, but the snafu could hurt its reputation.
