Blockbuster and Apple?
I, Cringely is back with a thought-provoking column about Apple and Blockbuster joining forces for movie distribution.
Here’s the scenario:
Take your Video-out iPod to Blockbuster, drop it in a kiosk dock then download from… your choice of 50,000 movies… Take the iPod home, drop it in the dock attached to your TV and watch the movie. H.264 decoding takes place in the iPod in hardware.
Very simple really, and you know what the Technologist Manifesto says about simple solutions, right? Use it.
