Why is this a first world problem? Netflix (or streaming Internet television) may not be available in every country, but you'd be hard pressed to find a place where people don't have easy access to some form of Television. Is it not interesting that there's a hack that someone might adapt to regular television (and probably save power) some day?
In any case, just because people are doing interesting things that may be relevant only in the first world doesn't make them any less interesting. This is after all, Hacker News, not Solve-Only-Global-Problems News.
