Free form cat watching

YouTube Eternity Comic
YouTube statistics show that 72 hours of video are uploaded to the platform every minute. At that rate, who has time for anything else?

Guess that's impressive...

I watched a movie last night called Security Not Guaranteed, and it turned out to be a somewhat dark comedy with romantic undertones as well.. I liked it, streaming from Netflix via the magic box.. Speaking of Roku, Redbox is about to launch their streaming service exclusively to Xbox.. Not sure if all streaming platforms will eventually be included after the initial  launch but if they don't include at least Roku then they are planing to fail.. Roku is the biggest streaming device out there.. You know, when I was looking at which streaming player to get a dvd (blue ray) player was thought of in the week prior to getting the Roku ordered.. Why I didn't go for the dvd player/streaming player combo??  I have always looked down on the combo type of things such as a tv with built in video tape recorder.. My dad and mom got a little portable tv with video tape player on it and the tape player went to shit right away.. So that soured the idea for me because if you want to tape player worked on you send the whole thing in to have it worked on.. When is the last time anyone sent a tape player in to have it worked on??  My old beta tape player (betamax) I sent it to a shop in town and they took over two weeks to fix it.. It broke down again and I took it in and watched the guy take it apart to get to the problem.. It was a broken belt which he fixed with super glue.. It broke again only this time I would fix it, and it would last a couple more years before having a chip go bad, a video processing chip.. By then I was ready for the mainstream VHS system. Anyway my point being that combo players aren't my thing of choice.. A dvd player with a streamer just sounds like trouble and truth is they aren't much to have two of.. They rarely offer blue ray without streaming capabilities.. And now tv sets are being sold with streaming built in which is good if that is important to you.. I'd rather they have just the tv.. But you never know, I can see having streaming built into the tv set..
