So Amazon will take out Wal-Mart?

Not without a fight! I know a couple of developers who recently signed on with Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart has the money, but similar to the way that myspace, RIM, and others have treated their respective markets, Wal-Mart has been treating e-commerce like it's a fucking joke for far too long.

I'm not entirely convinced that they realize how serious things are right now.

I'm surprised too. It's baffling that none of the big boxes are competitive online yet.
