Perhaps he's being a follow-fashion monkey!

That's fine, I'm just tired of his insinuations that I'm an idiot, which doesn't seem to be remarked on at all.

In the spirit of showing a good example, I'll stop haranguing that Jeff guy at Amazon for his short-sighted, legally questionable, and morally reprehensible stance!

i didn't notice anyone insinuating that anyone else was an idiot in this thread, but if you feel a post is objectionable, please report it using the "report post" button on the bottom left, with the exclamation point in it, next to the karma button.

Earlier today, someone posted a link to an article about this and discussed Bezos saying they would not delete content off Kindles anymore. I wonder if I can find the thread?...... BRB ......

UPDATE: I can't find it.

I think that those who are offended by the apology should boycott Amazon to show their disapproval.

O.K., this is starting to make the news:

http://www.internetretailer.com/dailyNews.asp?id=31239

http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/23...ndle-incident/

Even though the cynic in me is thinking of other reasons, I am having an urge to hug Bezos right now, or at least my Kindle....

But the fact that Amazon with its multimillions of dollars (both present and future) at risk, and high-priced lawyers by the bucket-loads thinks otherwise does make you think a little bit.

Right?

Meh.

I'm Hungarian. To me apes are just man-shaped monkeys.

No offense meant though, my good orang-utan!

What is the difference between SPRAY ON TAN and A LONG-HAIRED SIMIAN?

One is an ORANGUTAN
the other is U-TAN ORANGE
