Comment The market (Score 3, Interesting) 183

Cannes has a big market. Hundreds of movies are sold globally in Cannes, at the same time many producers find funding for their big budget and indie films. Netflix buys movies for a few dollars and produce a mere handful of movies every year. Cannes is still a very important platform for the movie business.

Netflix has no space in this old world. They simply put online any movie and people may decide to watch it or not. Meanwhile everyone else has to find distribution and pay for advertising.

So people are commenting on a movie they haven't seen it yet.

I think it's in the tone of The Empire Strikes Back. It's an emotional ride! and the producers didn't touch their heart to tell a story, and if you follow the archs of the SW stories, you know what will happen in the second movie of this trilogy.

"Many stores in the United States sell "Romano cheese", which should not be confused for genuine pecorino Romano which is an Italian product recognized and protected by the laws of the European Community. Unlike the Italian cheese, American Romano is milder and uses cow's milk instead of sheep's milk."

He was right.

I started reading ./ when my English was really poor and hardly understood the more technical texts. We had a 15th aniversary party here in Mexico City and cannot believe we're 20 now.

I visit the site once a week, now we have many more ways to get news.

So, instead of selling PCs, vendors should advertise their equipment as bundles:

-- "Behold! The new ASUS this-and-that PC plus Windows bundle!"
-- "Do you have ASUS this-and-that PC plus Linux?"
-- "Oh, we only sell PC-Windows bundles, sorry"
-- "Then I only want the PC."
-- "Then go to a PC vendor. This is a bundle vendor."

Problem solved.
