Blockbuster lost the distributor battle long before they even attempted a streaming service.
Don't forget NetFlix was a DVD distributor before it became a streaming service.
So there are multiple layers to "WHY" Blockbuster failed... This article doesn't even seem to touch on anything significant.
What is interesting is all of the new information and our ability to process it as much as we want.
1. no jobs to pay for said car
2. must pay for student loans instead
3. cars are less reliable
4. cars cost more today, and more to maintain
5. gas prices increased but not wages
6. insurance costs

Team leaders need to invest into their listening skills and stop thinking they are all Steve Jobs, and that they have to be an asshole just to get anything done.

Flash was a wonderful way to learn about object oriented programming because you could literally draw an object and add code to it, as you described.
However, I think controlling objects appearances with CSS instead of the IDE or direct code that is mixed with other ActionScript is what finally converted me away from Flash.
The new CSS3 features were too good to pass up especially if I could use them for free and with any text editor.
