The thing is, they would be better in the long run to embrace the new technologies and learn to incorporate them into their current business practices, because if they don't there are companies out there that will and the old dinosaurs will lose out to them.

Still the things like exclusive deals are going to happen regardless. It's business.
You are right Kennyc. Jeff Bezos and Amazon are skinning those old dinosaurs alive.
Who more than Amazon and (even I must admit) Apple has embraced the new technologies and seen such success!

I see that you recognize and revere the NEW TECH. (Amazon, forever!)

Right on man! Right on.!
