Unfriggin' believable! Just returned home from watching "You've got Mail" a movie that an analyst last week claimed was a "watershed" event in the internet's takeover off our lives. He used the "stunned reation of leaving theater goers" to claim that it had turned him ever more bullish on the sector. The power of the keiritsu is amazing. This movie centers around an online cyber romance between Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks using AOL of course. I expected this prior to watching. Here's the twist I couldn't believe: Meg Ryan does what for a living? Owns a small independent book store! And she's struggling for survival. Ah, you say, due to competition from the on line booksellers, right? After all this is an internet movie, right? NOOOOOOO. Guess what Tom Hanks does? He's the heir apparent for FOX books, a megachain of superstores with coffee bars inside them, that look amazingly like Barnes and Nobles! Meg good, Tom bad. Even Tom's dad and grandad bad!! And Bezos survives unscathed, and even unmentioned. Ah, the irony.
