Gone are the days of going down to a local driving range to get your golf swing analyzed by a pro. Starting today, you can get your golf swing analyzed on the iPhone. In addition to the automated analysis, the application directly compares your swing to Tiger Woods’ swing.

To get your swing analyzed, all you have to do is download the app on the App Store, record your swing, and then compare it to 24 swings by Tiger Woods.

The cool thing about the app is that Tiger Woods has the ability to upload new swings to the app server, where the swing will immediately be made available for analysis.

Pretty nifty. If you’re a golfer, you’re going to want to check this one out.

Netflix Canada announced that starting today movies and TV shows in Canada will now use up two thirds less data than previously. According to the email sent to users, the change was made because of the low data caps of Canadian ISP’s. “We know that many of our Canadian members have monthly Internet data caps.
