Netflix to Stop Selling Used DVDs

What might come as a surprise for many people is not that Netflix will cease selling used DVDs, but that Netflix was actually selling used DVDs in the first place. Selling "previously viewed DVDs" (as Netflix calls them--sort of like how used car salesmen sell "previously-owned vehicles"), has been part of the services that Netflix has offered for sometime, with some discs selling for as little as $5.99. But after November 30, Netflix will no longer offer this service, so that it can focus on its "core business" of "delivering great movie rentals to you on DVD by mail and instantly to the computer and TV" as the company recently reported on its blog.

BlackBerry Bold Selling for $660 at Best Buy, Costs $169 to Build

Two hilariously complementary news items have hit at about the same time regarding the BlackBerry Bold: first, iSuppli's $169 price estimate for the cost to build the handset, and second, Best Buy's announcement that they are selling the unlocked version for $660. iSuppli's cost analysis reveals a handset that costs the same amount to build as the iPhone 3G, but that, even under contract, will sell for significantly more.
