Blockbuster Throws Hat into Movie Download Business

jtroutman writes "Stepping into the ring to compete with entities such as Amazon, CinemaNow and, of course, NetFlix, Blockbuster announced today the acquisition of Movielink, LLC. The deal had been scheduled to take place earlier this year, but was quashed amid trouble between the then CEO, John Antioco, and the Board of Directors."

    > Proofread. The laziness of Slashdot editors never ceases to amaze me. Your job is so easy, yet, you don't even do it.

    There's this `firehose` thing which is supposed to help. One day I'll work out how it works and how to use it, and perhaps even why it makes Firefox render the site in a way which makes it impossible to read.

    Oh come on, you're being too harsh.
    It's not like a basic spellchecker would have caught that one.

    Geeze quit your bitching. If you hate the editors so much stop visiting slashdot or at least stop posting about it so the rest of us don't have to hear your constant whining. Obviously the spelling errors and dupes aren't as important as you think otherwise why do you keep coming back.
