Blockbuster, one of my favorite companies ever, went under. I have great memories of searching aisles of VHS tapes with my kids every week, looking for movies we could watch together. Blockbuster was wildly successful, at least it seemed to be. What happened? How could it have fallen so quickly? They ignored the ever-changing landscape in which they operated. Innovation, competition and easier ways of getting movies (from a little competitor known as Netflix) put them out of business.

There is great advice from members in this thread and Membership Services can also help, they will look at your applications, the sits you are applying for and your profile. Sometimes just a few small tweaks can make all the difference, as well as applying for the right sit as opposed to a sit.

I think the WCC matters to the winning team and the smaller teams especially, but less so to the established constructors. While Ferrari were no doubt disappointed yesterday they couldn't secure second, they'll surely wake up today happy to have the extra wind tunnel time at their disposal for next year.

I think it's interesting, its importance is relative to a team's ambitions. For instance, I don't care who comes second out of Ferrari/Mercedes. Ferrari have finished second many times in history, and both teams have fallen short of their goal. But Aston Martin in a clear fifth or Williams in seventh, they represent significant progress and are worth celebrating.

These were the exclamation points on a go-ahead drive that would help propel Baltimore to an eventual and memorable 37-31 overtime victory. But it was the entirety of the 13-play, 75-yard march engineered by mostly the right arm of Jackson that stood out as he completed 7 of 10 passes for 73 yards and in doing so continued to elevate himself in the NFL Most Valuable Player conversation with four weeks remaining in the regular season.

The 30-year-old two-time Pro Bowl selection and former Offensive Rookie of the Year is the best quarterback in the NFL right now. He has completed 69.3% of his passes for 3,505 yards with 28 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

I watched The Voice this season, a group sang Creep, it was meh. At least every season somebody sings Creep but nobody ever sings any other Radiohead songs because.....they can't or Radiohead is underappreciated. I did see someone once sing Pyramid Song, it was great, but that's it!

Experiments and projects had been going on since the 1920s, but in order to get the development to take a big step forward, DARPA announced a prize competition. One million dollars in prize money for the team that managed to get a self-driving vehicle to drive 24 miles in the Mojave desert in the shortest time.

Prize competitions are a smart way to push development forward. If you manage to set a difficult, yet achievable goal, and a sufficiently large sum of money, you get a mix of competitors from several different disciplines with different ideas and approaches, which together invest more money than you spend in prize money.

The reason Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic when he did was to win $ 25,000 in The Orteig Prize. 16 times more money than the prize money was invested by all competitors and became the starting point for a strong expansion of the airline industry.

The Orteig Prize was the inspiration for the Ansari X Prize, where $ 10 million was awarded to the first private space flight, in 2004. Today, XPRIZE is a foundation that conducts prize competitions in several areas.

Red Team was more focused on the hardware and spent considerable time making it work optimally. Thrun and his Stanford Racing Team bought products on the market and spent most of their time trying to get the computer software to work optimally.

One day, Google Founder, Larry Page suddenly knocked on the door of Sebastian Thrun's office. He had heard that they would compete in the competition and had countless questions about how close a self-driving car was to becoming a reality. Both he and his co-founder, Sergey Brin intended to come and watch the competition. Little did Thrun know then that that visit would change his life.

In October 2005 it was time for competition number two. This time Red Team had two cars in the competition and both actually reached the goal. So did three other vehicles, one of which belonged to the Stanford Racing Team. Stanford's car rolled over the finish line after seven hours, thus beating the Red Team's two cars, which finished second and third.

Now the contestants would need to navigate in an urban environment, full of moving objects and other vehicles and manage to drive 10 miles in under six hours, and at the same time follow all traffic rules.

Red Team decided to run again and now started a collaboration with General Motors. Their car became a Chevy Tahoe named, Boss. Thrun's team also ran again, sponsored by Google. Brin and Page reappeared on race day and this time had a large part of Google's leadership with them.

Again, Carnegie Mellon's Red Team (now Tartan Racing) and Thrun's Stanford Racing were favorites. At the start, suddenly the GPS receiver on Red Team's vehicle, Boss, stopped working. The competition team let another team start, but the people from Carnegie Mellon failed to make it work. Another team started, and the panic began to spread.

It is interesting to reflect on that time, during 2008 and 2009. It was not only the starting point for the self-driving revolution, but also for two other perhaps equally important developments. 

From DARPA's three competitions came a whole community of engineers and computer scientists with extensive knowledge of self-driving vehicles. With relatively little money, a car company could have hired these people. Instead, they are now investing $80 billion just to catch up. A pretty nice ROI for the $35 million DARPA spent.

At the same time, when we look back to the early 2000s from the future, we will be fascinated by these cars. How big, bulky and ineffective they were. Today's children will probably never drive a car, except possibly as entertainment inside a fenced area.

One area to apply this is within your SEO strategy. Instead of focusing on high-competition keywords, review long-tail keywords and reviews. These are the keys to attracting customers across all stages of the buying lifecycle.

Big Cable should have gotten the message. But here we are just a year later with a new cable mega-merger in the works. This time, Charter Communications wants to snatch up Time Warner Cable along with Bright House Networks.

Customers consider multiple costs (money, time, effort, cognitive load, reputation) while making the tradeoff of cost vs benefit. Their expectation of potential benefit continuously changes as they gain more experience with a product or a company (however new products usually fail because customers never got to a point of gaining enough experience to derive full value from those products)

Every now and then, somebody will ask me why I take the time to set up the annual prediction contest. Why bother, when it takes so much work to scrape all the data from our (occasionally uncooperative) comment section, massage it into some kind of working shape and then monitor the whole thing over the course of a full season?

For the GMs, you had even less confidence in the available names, with nobody topping the 50 percent mark. Julien BriseBois and Steve Yzerman came closest, finishing neck-and-neck for the top spot, comfortably ahead of Tom Fitzgerald and Ron Francis. From there, it was a smooth drop, with no obvious tiers that stand out.

The former hitting partner for Rafael Nadal in Spain, turned tennis teacher in Hawaii and eventually full-time pickleball player, earned his first shot at a finals with an absolute assault on some of the best players in pickleball Thursday at the Texas Open.

The 19th-seeded Martinez Vich beat the best of the PPA Tour and beyond, starting with a win over 14th-seeded Hunter Johnson in the first round. After losing to No. 3-seed Jay Devilliers earlier this season at the North Carolina Open, Martinez Vich topped Deviliers this time, 12-10, 11-6.

A few years ago, before signing up for my first bodybuilding competition, my friend, Regina, came to my house for a visit. After the kids fell asleep and the men were watching TV, I confessed my fear of not being liked to her over a cocktail and a bag of chips.

Psycho Camera started the competition by shooting a three-pointer, but he was quickly informed that it was a slam-dunk competition. Then as he drove to the basket all the blood rushed out of his head and he fainted when he saw that he was in the paint for the first time in his GW career.
