I was having problems watching instantly videos in my Netflix Queue since netflix doesn't yet recognize Chrome on the Mac (and possibly on the PC, haven't tested that.) Netflix knows which browser you're on by it's user-agent. That be changed when Chrome starts up. Here what I did on the Mac to change the user-agent to a version of Safari:
In Terminal enter:
Replace
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app
with the location of "Google Chrome.app" if it's not in the /Applications folder or under a different name.
To automate, put in a shell file that you can manually run or set to automatically load at startup.
Note: This works on the terminal "open" in Snow Leopard. But in the Leopard version of "open", the "--args" parameter does not look to be supported.
Update: Angelo, in message below says
For Leopard (10.5.X) (not Snow Leopard) use this:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome –args -user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.2.1 Safari/525/19"

Before the Bloggers went to cover the SF Symphony we met for dinner in the patio behind Arlequin. The symphony was inspiring -- conducted by James Gaffigan with piano soloist Gabriela Martinez.

Walfredo and I both have Cirne domains, his is cirne.net and mine is cirne.com. Walfredo Cirne has a real Cirne last name, mine is my name, Enric, spelled backwards. Out of curiousity, Walfredo, recently transplanted from Brazil, called me to have lunch at Google.

Laura of Starling Studios donated a crocheted cozy for my Xacti. This was in appreciation of using my open source video presentation software, vPIP (videos Playing In Place.)
