Amazon and Tivo take on movie downloads.

by Richard McKinnon at 04:09PM (PDT) on April 12, 2007 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Tivo signed up with Amazon to provide movie downloads. Amazon via the internet to computer then wireless to Tivo. Finally. An easy not the Blockbuster experience. I hate Blockbuster. They must have the worst customer service. Doesn't seem to matter which outlet you go to either.

Now I don't have to leave home. And because the first step is the hardest, getting people signed up crosses a major hurdle for the companies.For Tivo it makes them relevant as a home entertainment hub. For Amazon it takes them deep into entertainment territory.

New things are always slow. But Tivo/Amazon have built foundations for growth.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
