VUDU became famous in the United States in a day

What the hell is VUDU? According to its website, "VUDU is a revolutionary product that will change the way you get and watch movies. VUDU is instantaneous - no trips to the video store, no reliance on email, no waiting for downloads. VUDU brings thousands of movies straight to your TV. VUDU is free, it doesn't require a personal computer, and it's independent of cable and satellite TV services."

The VUDU craze began with an article in the New York Times. The New York Times report ends with Reed Hastings saying, "Whether VUDU will have an impact on the world is an open question, or whether it symbolizes the beginning of the Internet revolution that is sweeping television sets everywhere."
