With Apple expected to announce iTunes movie rentals at the Macworld conference this week, Netflix eased the restrictions on its movie streaming service. Starting today, all subscribers save those on the cheapest Netflix plan will have access to unlimited online video streaming from among the company's 6,000+ movie online library. This is seen as a preemptive strike against Apple, who may also tie their 24-hour iTunes movie rental service into their AppleTV set-top box product.
