      Is the Long Commute Still Worth It?
      I am one of the lucky ones. I work at home and never need to go anywhere else—unless I want to—for fun. That is the way it needs to be for millions of people who COULD work this way. Employers need to learn to trust employees who work in the information arena (I'm a designer in publishing). There are certainly many ways to keep tabs and stay in touch. The other thing that needs to happen is that businesses need to consider moving out of the the city too. The workforce is already there. For many businesses where they are located isn't an issue—lower rents in the exburbs could be a boon. Hopefully we will also see the resurgence of the smaller neighborhood grocery store. It simply isn't realistic to expect millions of families to move into urban areas to be near work. There isn't housing, schools, or services enough for them—it has to be the other way around. Park the damn SUV and think about some alternatives. Experience a life off the road.

      Apple’s “Day and Date” Announcement Ushers in a New Era for Movie Studios
      Oh wahh for the theaters and movie rental biz. I've felt for a long time they were dinosaurs breathing their last. They haven't changed their offering in decades. Yeah stadium seating is nice, but it's no longer enough to offer a chair and a screen. And don't get me started on the food—blech. The escalation in ticket prices is akin to the inflation in the cost of higher ed and the healthcare industry (both of which also will undergo a HUGE paradigm shift in the coming years).

      It seems to me that theaters need to rethink the whole movie going experience if they are to survive. In the19th and early 20th century people used to go to the opera or live theater regularly, not just to see the show, but to see others, and be seen. It was a SOCIAL gathering—and an important one in high society. Take note AMC, step your game, or die.

      As for blockbuster and it's ilk, sorry, nice knowin ya. Invest in AAPL. I have no sympathy for luddites.

      These changes are only a good thing for the consumer and for the creative community that needs to stop gouging the consumer (through the many layers of middle men).
