They are running for the hills but the end of the trail is Little Big Horn, where Custer made his last stand, and lost his life. Of course the Indians didn't do too well either. AP: "Girding for a potential threat from Apple Inc., online DVD rental service Netflix Inc. is lifting its limits on how long most subscribers can watch movies and television shows over high-speed Internet connections." Please oh Netflix strategy gods, get a copy of Marketing Warfare and read it. Netflix owns what used to be a great hill, for some it might still be one, the movies-by-mail hill. They obviously feel they need to be in the Internet movie business, and in that they have a huge head start that they aren't using. They are being too damned fair to their competitors.  Give the users the ability to grant other sites access to their movie ratings. Build Netflix into the social network of movies. You're already there, but you need to make every other social network connect up to Netflix. You need to be the hub for movie-watching on the net. You're lucky that so far that's what you are. But soon you will have to fight for that too, and then it will be too late to try to force your competitors to connect to your site. They will have data that you want. Then the nature of the negotiating will change. Right now you have the data. Use that power! Make the users everyone think of Netflix as the place on the Net for Flix.

Yes, "Law & Order" is  back for another season (its 17th), which is a bit like saying  the sun is back for another rise. Four more seasons and it ties  "Gunsmoke" as the longest-running drama in primetime history,  and it would be a mistake to bet against precisely that  ultimately happening. Creator Dick Wolf, in fact, has said he  is determined to achieve nothing less.

The makers of violent video game Manhunt 2 remain mum on both what specifically earned it an Adults Only rating and the game&#39;s future. But that hasn&#39;t stopped speculation and discussion about the situation and its impact on the industry. &quot;Manhunt 2 is very significant,&quot; says Dennis McCauley of GamePolitics.com. &quot;In the U.S, the industry&#39;s own game content rating board is sending a very clear signal as to where the line is on violence.&quot;
