Absolutely love Orange is the New Black. Can't wait for the second season. We should change the title of this thread to 'NetFlix Discussion.'

I was going to post the closing but its already mentioned.

This is a great case of what happens when companies do not keep up with the changes in technology or service.

We used to be regular customers. Â Then cable On Demand and Netflix rendered the whole concept irrelevant. Â It is amazing to watch how technology is changing our literal landscape right before our eyes. Â I recall when Applause! Video, and later Blockbuster swept across the landscape in the 1980s.

I used to enjoy the Applause on 84th & Dodge. Â Â The large signage that would change with the movie themes looked neat. Â Usually a motorized small scale of some aspect of the movie. Â The old red barn looking building.

This is on par with what's come out of SNL for the past 15 or so years, but they did a tribute skit to Blockbuster on Saturday:
