They are willing to sustain significant losses and take the company into the red for a chance to do something for you.

When did netflix get subtitles?

And how are they activated?

Yeah, that's a problem I encounter frequently with some of my friends. But what the heck; it doesn't stop me from doing it anyway.

I almost never watched TV until it started coming out on DVD. DVR + DVD (and more recently, DVR + Netflix/Hulu/etc) is the only reason I started watching any at all. I kept mostly to books, video games and movies before that.

When? I dunno; I just noticed a few months back.

How? I watch on XBOX: the Yellow button on the infrared remote calls up a menu with among other things a big box labelled "Language and subtitles". Language is usually English, sub-titles is usually "none" and "English CC". Useful for UNDINE and Doctor Who, among others.

The most recent App update gave me the option to pick between regular NETFLIX and NETFLIX FOR KIDS. (I assume family settings can be used to force the latter.) Hulu Plus has better HD image quality than Hulu and both could use a bit more CBS content (PERSON OF INTEREST!) but both are easily worth the US$8.

NETFLIX apps vary according to devices, now that I think of it. I hope its not another XBOX-exclusive feature...

Not all streaming content has subtitles.

When you hover over the screen and the controls pop up, if the movie has subtitles towards the right you will see an icon that looks like a square speech bubble. Click on that.

we're the opposite. if i need the book for reference, then i prefer the physical book as it makes it easier to flip through and make notes.

Yep, that's the trade-off. Ebooks are much easier to search for key words though.
