<<<< >>AMZN is going to lose huge amounts of money as it wages a war of attrition against its competition. That's right. Just like AOL did against CompuServe. >>>> William: It would seem that 1. amzn has no f---in idea how it's going to survive and is therefore making fairly scattered acquisitions and/or 2. it has moved into a different industry. it's a shop bot which is commited to NOT searching for the lowest price (bezos' quote not mine) or simply one of many e malls. if that's the case, then either way, AOL (and msn, yhoo, lcos, nscp, etc.) now is the competition.
