True story: a guy walks into a Blockbuster wearing a NetFlix T-shirt, and the clerk shoots him dead. Just kidding. But it's been a long time since Blockbuster's profits from VHS rentals impressed Wall Street. What with that Interweb thing, it's...

Yo. Come here. No, closer. I gotta deal for you, but we can't let anyone know about. No really, I'm serious. Step into my office-in that back alley. Here's the deal. AT&T is launching its new U-verse television service, perhaps in your very own...
