Review: Yahoo/Netflix makes sense. Following on the news of Yahoo's relationship with Tivo, maybe Netflix will help establish a huge content back-catalog that allows direct downloads to your Tivo unit?

Review: Business Objects, Cognos, and Hyperion are all in the same space (Business Intelligence). Depending on the article and the author, each of those is going to be bought by Oracle/SAP/IBM. I've been hearing this for the last 3 years....

Review: My prediction: MSN buys Doubleclick and offers Web sites free ad serving in it's quest to monopolize the ad-serving sector and become the de facto standard. This allows Microsoft the chance to introduce its keyword ad platform throughout the Web in a big way, in direct competition to Google's Ad Sense and Yahoo's Overture.

Review: Nice article. NetFlix will lose its identity once online movies comes into full-fleged existence. Yahoo might use their snail-mail delivery service model to offer such online movie services. I don't think Verizon might peek its head towards Bellsouth. Consolidation is the only way to show growth and appease growth-hungry Wall Streeters. Ask Oracle.

Review: Why would anyone think that any company with half a brain would pay Netflix's market cap plus a premium? Other than this silliness about Netflix, many apparently good points made in this article. I can always tell when people have not done serious research into the competitive landscape and challenges that surround Netflix and its business model.

Review: Instead of AT&T (not SBC anymore) buying out all of BellSouth, I believe it will just go after the wireless unit. It doesn't really make sense to pull in the whole business, when BellSouth has been hit the hardest with land-line drop rates. As cell phones get more and more into the cracks of our society and landlines become even more and more scarce, wireless will be the way to go. There is the argument what about in an emergency? Well there's only one problem with that -- everyone who is switching to VoIP will have even bigger problems than cell phones in emergency situations where there is no power.
