Actually, the title sounds more nefarious than this post really is   Here we have a behind the scenes look at one of the Netflix sorting warehouses in the east coast.  Thirteen photos of the internal workings and machinations of the receiving, and then immediate shipping out of DVD’s from one customer to another.  I had a Netflix membership once, and never had a problem with the time it took movies to get to me…aside from the occasional broken DVD.

Regardless, this is an interesting peek into their processing.  Check it out HERE.

During this last week I’ve had a little more time than usual to look at the Geeknews traffic, later in the week I’ll discuss the year’s most popular topics and solicit your feedback.

Interestingly, two in particular have been pretty popular lately even though they were posted much earlier in the year – one is a motivation poster I created sitting at #5, and at #10 is my take on what women should wear to a tech conference.
