This is probably already noted on these pages, but I'm on a slow connection and couldn't find it. Anyway, I just discovered today that Amazon's $500,000 pool of money was per month. They've already doled out the December funds and they have moved onto a new pot for January. Also, they had such strong response that they sweetened the offer by 200k.
