>>>There is nothing innovative about Amazon's one-click technology<<< >>> But they were awarded a patent! If BNBN wants to do 1-click, then they should fight the patent. As a shareholder, I resent the fact that BNBN tried to rip AMZN off!! --Olu E. <<< My story may not be accurate, but I heard that one-click is actually Jeff Bezos' idea. But when he first proposed it he got abundant opposition from inside Amazon (his colleagues). What's the use of that? Those people argued. However, Bezos prevailed. Another Bezos' idea is the "ASIN matching", basically auction sellers at Amazon can link the items they sell to the retail items offered by Amazon. This turns out to a great idea. (The engineers worked on the project and Bezos immediately spotted a bug when they test-run it.) I am wondering: why some people would remember Bezos as a once hedge-fund manager but forget that he's a smart guy also with an engineering background?
