AMAZON IS STARTING SUNDAY DELIVERIES. Rejoice, Weep, Praise.
Man. Nothing like getting paid on a Thursday and wanting to ransack Amazon for some neat things I don’t need. Only problem? Even with my Prime account that shit isn’t coming until Monday. (Unless you want to pay for one-day but fuck you.) This won’t hold! My American upbringing demands everything right now. Good Guy Amazon? Soon they’ll have my back.
Amazon’s ‘KINDLE MATCHBOOK’ bundles PHYSICAL and DIGITAL COPIES. Frak yes.
Rad ass. Sort of. Amazon is going to begin offering a digital copy of physical books that you snag. For a teeny fee. Frankly, I’m there. Maybe it’s bullshit or whatever that they’re going to charge the extra dough, but I’m a sucker. For far too long I’ve groused that I couldn’t lend a friend a hard copy of a book that I snagged for my Kindle. Or add it to my physical library, as a monument to my literary materialism.
AMAZON developing ANDROID CONSOLE. MOAR CONSOLES ALWAYS.
Errbuddy looking to get into that delicious gaming…game? If reports are to believed, Amazon is on their grind. Developing an Android console. Why not? I mean, it isn’t like we are saturated beyond belief in the gaming market. Does this interest your beautiful asses at all?
AMAZON to begin publishing FANFICTION through KINDLE WORLDS. Yay? Bah?
Amazon is going to begin publishing fanfiction through Kindle Worlds, which is an offshoot of their self-publishing arm. I don’t write fanfiction, though I do appreciate both its authors and the idea of it. So I don’t know if I’m the best one to weigh in on this shit, so I will stae that I like the idea of these talented folk being recognized. Or not recognized. You know, based on the quality of their work.
Amazon introduces ‘AMAZON COINS’, doesn’t realize we all f**king hate virtual currencies.
Oh god damn you, Amazon. Don’t you realize that we hate virtual currencies? Let us pay Imperial credits for objects. That is all we want. We don’t want coins, bucks, Microsoft points, or any of that shit. In short, fuck you.
Target straight matchin’ AMAZON’S PRICES all year.
Showrooming is a glorious epidemic. Walk into a store. Check out the device or gadget you want. Then you go home and order it online. Target is trying to strike back against this movement in a rather favorable manner. They’re going to match Amazon’s prices all damn year long.
WONDER WOMAN going to TV in Smallville-esque series. Aiight.
DC has been on their grind trying to get Wonder Woman onto some sort of fucking screen for a while. They axed the Joss Whedon pitch for a flick. Like true dumb asses. Then they filmed an asstacular TV pilot. Their latest approach is a series in the vein of Smallville. I suppose we’ll see.
Amazon Acquires Kiva Systems. ROBOTIC WAREHOUSES GET.
Fucking robots, man. All crossing our technological borders and stealing our jobs and shit. The latest band of thieves are them Kiva Systems robots, now that they’ve been acquired by Amazon.
Rumor: Amazon Is Planning Physical Store In Seattle. Wait, Why?
Amazon has been blessed by being Free of The Flesh, operating in the wondrous intangible market place in the sky-clouds-buzzword. There’s a rumor going around that they are going to shed the immortal coil and tether themselves in the cumbersome.
Amazon’s ‘Kindle Fire’ Is Their 7-Inch Tablet. Sort of Swank.
Amazon has revealed their rumored, then confirmed behind the scenes, tablet. The Kindle Fire. Another non e-ink tablet I won’t be buying. Details? Get some.
