Netflix vs. Amazon

A good description of the experience of watching streaming services.

The streaming / on-demand world (is there a difference?) is starting to look like simply a rival of cable television, rather than a rival of DVD/BluRay.  Think about it:  you don't get to select precisely what you want to watch, rather, you decide you want to watch something and you choose what's available.  Sounds more like the TV experience than the movie-rental experience.
