NEVER LEAVE HOME. EVER. "Netflix, which pioneered the business of offering DVD movie rentals by mail, is now offering its 8.2 million subscribers an option to watch movies easily on their televisions without involving the post office. Working with a small Silicon Valley company, Netflix will begin marketing a $99 device on Tuesday that will allow customers to play thousands of movies and shows on their televisions instantly, for no charge beyond their normal subscription fee."

THE BUSINESS OF AVOIDING PEOPLE "Apple is expected to announce Thursday that it has struck a deal with a wide array of major and mini studios to offer many new releases for purchase at its iTunes Store, says The Hollywood Reporter. The move would see a slate of top-shelf films offered day-and-date with home video releases, which could cannibalize DVD sales."
