>>not to mention make an operating profit by the end of the year as Bezos has promised.<< bezos never promised an operating profit. pro forma (read not an operating profit), yes. the media is dumb and uneducated far too often. either that or they are paid off. >>And then there's the ongoing issue of whether the business plan is a viable one to begin with.<< the issue was settled years ago. >>But, as usual, Bezos deflected those comments. "We are super-committed," he said, referring to efforts to reach profitability by year-end. But he repeated his comments from the first quarter conference call that operating profits would not come "at any cost."<< that is the problem... the "any cost" is always higher than revenues. super committed? -yawn- what were you before, half assed committed? the guy could make more money selling amway... 'cause that's what he sounds like...
