Gotta say...this is one to save for the humor. 'Its not about price.' eh? huh? You know if you put a bright lite outside in the summer it attracts bugs...but whats the point? This is why the retail cconsumer e-commerce model is weak; too easy and tempting to compete on price. You dont think everyone will throw tons of dough at making the best site with the most offer just to end up competing largely on with almost no margin. You bet they will. Thats exactly whats going on right now. And the funny thing is that they are some smart people...who are playing with house money. There will be other, better models in the next year...they are in private hands now.

"the world's most customer-centric company."

That's too bad, I kinda liked it being the world's most shareholder-centric company.
