"I believe Google, Amazon, HP, RIM, Microsoft and Apple all have that technology in their OSes and hardware, but to date only Google and Amazon have actually pulled the trigger on it."
Anytime you see,
though you may not see it, a revision or upgrade to your program/device, any change can be made to your software or your computer's memory.
That capability exists everywhere, but what is fairly rare is the intent and will to exercise it as Amazon did. And of course the reason was shown when Amazon did exercise it. Amazon was "slapped down" by the world.
The people with "1984" were lucky. They got a refund and maybe a book. If they had possessed a counterfeit $20 bill, the treasury guys could have taken it and not given anything in return.
Praise Amazon, a true dear friend!
