You guys heard about the new Blockbuster movie rental program which lets you rent movies online –similar to netflix.com- but instead of mailing the movie, and waiting the usual 2/3 day turnaround, you have the option to return the movie to your local blockbuster video store and exchange it for a new move. What a great deal!
How’s Netflix supposed to compete with that? Here’s what I think:
1. netflix can do nothing: Game over for Netflix. Or, they could break into some new market, music/games?
2.Partner with Hollywood video: Well there aren’t really a bunch of these anymore thanks to Blockbuster
3.Setup the best affiliate program with local movie rental stores AND partner with Hollywood Video or other Blockbuster competitors: Ah, looks like they might have a fighting chance.
Once again these are just my opinions, I could be completely wrong

Finals are here, so it’s fitting that today’s blog is about studying. It pleases me to announce that I have devised a means of studying that will be sure to earn you the best grades ever. All you need is your textbook and a yellow highlighter. If you do not have a yellow highlighter, I suggest you go and get one now. I’ll be waiting. Seriously. Stop reading and go buy a highlighter RIGHT NOW!
 (Brief pause)
Whew! I thought we would never get rid of those morons. Those are the idiots who think they can study by highlighting every single sentence in their textbooks. You know the people I’m talking about. As they read, they are always armed with highlighters, ready to assault any sentence that seems important. They are always highlighting sentences like “What is biology?” This behavior amuses me, because everyone should know that biology is the study of anything that dies when you shoot it with a gun.
But these people proceed to highlight the entire paragraph, and then the entire page, and before you know it, the whole book is glowing like an exit sign.
But enough about highlighters. As I mentioned earlier, I have developed a breakthrough process that is guaranteed to give you better grades.
My plan is based on the rule of thumb that the harder you study, the more headaches you get. Therefore, to earn the best grades, you have to study until you get a migraine. Now the traditional method of studying by going to the library and memorizing dates and formulas is flawed, because it takes forever to develop a migraine this way.
A much more efficient method is to sit in your room and consume large quantities of Mr. Boston’s Vodka until your head is about to explode. Then using a sharpened No. 2 pencil, scribble a letter to your professor using this as a guide:
DeAr Sir, I Am forwArding this emAil to sAy thAt I Adore your clAss. You Are A greAt teAcher. When I mAture, I wAnt to teAch just As you do. Keep up the greAt Attitude. ThAnks.
Your greAtest fAn,
(your name).
 I guarantee you excellent results. Goodluck on finals everyone.
