blockbuster, not surprised. everyone downloads movies these days. and ppl go catch it at the movie theater for the entertainment value. price of going to see a movie went down, remember how expensive it was at one point? | colossus in langley actually went up, i forgot when it happened tho. from $10.95 to $11.50, i remeber when it was actually cheaper..

Blockbuster will be gone in 5-10 years regardless of the economy.

Not surprised to see some Casinos get affected.  That means there's more promotions for cheap rooms in Vegas!!!  | |

I'm surprised KK lasted this long. Their business model of franchising is terrible. Timmy Ho's is kicking their ass in the North East(US).

AMD isn't going to disappear. The most likely thing would be getting acquired by a private company.

It'll be sad to see Six Flags shut down though.
