Everybody, here is the one I found: rt.freerealtime.com which is different from the Yahoo version: biz.yahoo.com Sorry OC, but I saw the first one and did not think they issued two of them 2 minutes apart! This is strange. Is one of them a fake. The release on Yahoo sure looks like a fake. That is unheard of. Herring

I wonder how many times the 'Amazombies' will need to be whacked with news like today's Barnes & Nobel agreement before they identify the risks involved with such a high flier. I swear one day soon the light bulbs will go on in some these 'investors' minds. AMZN's much publicized growth will probably slow significantly starting in 1999.

I get the sense of a very interesting grudge match: why not - Barnes & Nobel probably has a lot of free publicity to gain if Bezos gets upset and throws a tantrum about the blue meanies competing with him at his own end-game (reduction of the complexity and costs of sales and distribution). I find it incredulous to see Bezos have such a reaction - I thought Amazon was destined for dominance of the industry - what a shame that others in the industry don't just sulk away to the business grave yard.
