In addition, Mr. Keyes said, “Our view of the change that’s occuring in consumer electronics and the movie-rental business is one of convergence,” as consumers are looking for better ways to consume their media content. He provided Apple Inc.’s stores as an example of “a user-friendly one-stop shop with solutions for the consumers” that he sees as a sort of model for a combination of Blockbuster and Circuit City.

This guy is out of his mind comparing a BlockBuster-CircuitCity combo to Apple’s model…this is a big reach and an ignorant one at that.
