A_Crazy_Idea

Aren't all opinions a function of preferences, born out of evolution and environment? Only if we had some kind of book...

I can give you in comparison, right now.

with the rise of cargo cult style management, how often are managers different then a script that purchases items from Amazon randomly and bulk emails randomly generated business plans?

Managers should have management experience and less nepotism experience. One step at a time, guys.

For all those businesses without intellectual property or databases.

Depends on your definition of competitive.

Also, it would be nice if my information wasn't so easy to datamine.

I hope they decide to sell it for around $300. I'm certainly not entertaining any prices north of that. I'm not interested in funding their mobile chip ambitions when I buy a desktop processor. Which is why I haven't purchased a chip from them since the first generation i7. Their prices and products have been ridiculous for too long.

Also, as a consumer there's massive benefit to me to be able to have competitors.

I'm not sure how to convince you otherwise.

How about this suggestion, instead of a million, lets try 3 or 4.

I think we should return this tit for tat measure and stop using these product aggregation sites altogether. I think at this point any idiot with money can fill a warehouse with product and some sql tables and pass PCI. There's really no technical reason any longer we have to trust single retailers. It's simply momentum and finance and it really doesn't scale beyond obfuscated-pyramid scheme technology here, there's no value or service being provided by these companies, they're simply middle men.
