Casanova starring Diego Luna, was pretty violent, but the cinematography was beautiful (I saw the free pilot episode). You might also see then 2005 BBC Casanova with David Tennant/Peter OToole as the young/old Casanova. I have only seen parts of the Heath Ledger version |

I'm not sure it will change the bottom line that much. Is it really big news that a company doesn't want to sell competing products? |

FWIW, Teddys got me my current Chromecast from Amazon, lo these many years ago :) I wonder if one searches Amazon for "Chromecast" whether the site will say "Wouldn't you like a nice Amazon Fire stick instead?" Can you buy a Chromecast in the Apple Store? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

They even show the new app... BTW, I got an update to the app recently. I'll have to try it out with the Mark 1 Chromecast and see if there's any difference. Though from what, I've no idea. I opened the app only twice to set up the thing... Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

It sets a precedent.
If I were an executive at Netflix, I might now be nervous that my company is a cloud computing client of Amazon's. At any moment, Amazon could change the rules on a whim, with little to no warning. These leaves Netflix in a vulnerable position. Amazon can't be trusted with this much power. |

Anyone can start a cloud computing company to compete with Amazon's. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
