I don't like the idea of that browser much. Too much walled garden and big brother watching for me.

At $200, I doubt Amazon is making much margin-but I'd be surprised if they were taking a 25% loss on each unit-just seems pretty high. I suppose this could just be to grab market share at first. |

The months preceeding today's announcement saw article after article of claims and speculation, citing analysts and mysterious sources whose info turned out to be mostly garbage. I mean what the hell: MC Siegler writes a "I saw it and these here are the details!" type article, cited by half the tech sites on the internet, that turns out to be 90% incorrect. Before that could be verified, however, he wrote an updated article changing the details from the first, which once again caused a huge stir and was cited by a gillion media outlets, and it still got some things wrong. Seriously I don't know how some of these bloggers and analysts retain credibility, or why tech journalists continue to quote them. |

You could set up a tent by your mailbox if it makes you feel better...
