Someone please put Netflix on Samsung's Android printers

We don't live in an age of products; we live in an age of platforms, which means that even dumb objects like printers need their own app stores. This is why Samsung is now offering a development kit for people to craft applications for its range of Android-running multifunction printers. The idea, as far as the company's David SW Song is concerned, is to let people do "productive work" while they wait for their documents. Suggestions include building apps to correct errors in documents without having to walk back to your PC, or automatically request fresh toner when levels are low. Of course, we're just hoping that someone sneakily ports Netflix so that we can binge on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt while pretending to solve a PC Load Letter issue.
