Unless they're planning to sell off one or the other service, I can't figure out what they're even thinking by this dumbass move.

Maybe it's not too late for Blockbuster" to be popular again by buying "Qwikster"

I usually first go to Watch Instantly to see if the movie I want is there. If not I can easily add it to my DVD queue.

I rarely waste my time looking for streamed movies as they are so few in number anyway.
Just try to watch "The Andromeda Strain" as a stream. It's been broken for 6 months.

Why of all things QWIKSTER? Why not MailFlix/NetFlix. Much more in line with the service capabilities.

Dear Reed:
I don't know you and this morning you send me an email telling me you messed up but yet I have never heard of you. I have a feeling you messed up again and didn't think this through. So now I'll need to have TWO accounts? Please reply when you know what you really want to do.

Nothing like killing off your brand in a hasty fashion. Although I'll be curious to see how they do this I doubt I'll be sticking around much longer.

You get a gold star for your observation.
Thank You for your Thank You...

Very astute, wish I had points.

Wow so close to history TWICE that day.
Since I was only ten years old at the time I remember the the shootings but not this bit o' history. I did live around that area, I do know that hotel did turn really sleazy just a few years after that symposium.

Coincidence?...

Thanks for sticking with me. However, I always thought that painting them all up (especially like Southwest) is a real waste anyway. Between the extra weight of the paint to the solvents they use to remove the paint, just seems foolish for brandings sake.

Is it not true that they need to strip all that paint to test & inspect properly?

I am not an airframe engineer (obviously), According to Douglas Feith on NBC news (allegedly a former NTSB investigator), the paint does get in the way of their testing.

You don't give any reason why it's so stupid. Enlighten me and don't just slander me.

You know, I'd seriously question their (Southwest Airlines) paint-scheme.
That blue is quite dark and probably really heats up on those southwest American airport tarmacs.

I'd definitely feel safer in a non-painted airliner, knowing that they have to totally strip the plane to test for cracking.

My Windows Phone 7 doesn't have it, why should I care?

Yeah and then they'll call DHS and say they're being followed by a pirate...

I'm glad someone has created an improvement. Your points are valid though I have been using a tablet for FIVE YEARS. The Ipad is neither new -or- magical, just different. The viewsonic has a consumer replaceable battery. TWO USB ports (Keyboard & Mouse), a speaker (lame-one at that) and separate mic & speaker outs. Sadly, no camera but I realize time marches on and I wondered what was taking so long for an actual tablet to get wide-market acceptance. It's still great for browsing the web while I chill and watch TV for the 2 hours a night. When I am done, I put it in the dock to recharge it. The battery life issue does not affect me. I simply cannot wait to replace the Viewsonic tablet with something else. Not necessarily Apple...Most likely not...

What I've been using for the last FIVE years. The form-factor can't really be much different.
