oha: "To put it short. The Kindle eReader has dropped out of bed. It has fallen beyond the wildest dreams of Amazon.com's management. They never told it to the market, but this is reality. I have proof, and the proof is undeniable. The drop in Kin...

"Amazon ist – im klassischen Versandhandel – schlagbar. Und zwar von den Versendern, die den Unterschied zwischen Muss-Kauf (männlich) und Will-Kauf (weiblich) verstehen und ihre Zielgruppe (Frauen!) entsprechend bedienen."

"If they’re planning to sell them for “$250 to $600”, isn’t that a good business model? Why is it simply accepted without debate that companies like Amazon and Google won’t turn a profit from hardware but have to find profits only through advertis...

"Apple customers were tempted by "shiny new alternatives," says IHS senior manager Rhoda Alexander. According to her research, however, the primary alternative was not the Fire, but the iPhone 4S."

 The S3Fox Organizer(S3Fox), offers the ability to upload or download files to and from Amazon S3. The interface, which opens in a Firefox browser tab, looks much like that of FTP clients with a dual-pane layout. It displays files on your PC on the left, files on Amazon S3 on the right, and status or information in a panel on the bottom.

  • Aus der Amazon.de-Redaktion
      Was ist da bloß aus Amerika auf unsere Büchertische niedergegangen? Drüben bemühte man bereits alttestamentarische Vergleiche. McCarthys frühere, düstere Werke kündigten einen solchen Wurf schon länger an. Nun aber, angesichts dieses finsteren Kreuzweges eines Vaters und seines Jungen durch ein schwarz verregnetes Endzeitamerika, wirken sie wie harmlose Fingerübungen. McCarthys Vision der letzten Menschheitstage nimmt sich aus, als wären Die Nacht der lebenden Toten in einem wahnwitzigen Remix wiederauferstanden. Ein verstörendes Stück Literatur. Man erschauert! Und erwacht!

    Die Wand, von Marlen Haushofer. Thomas Glavinics Die Arbeit der Nacht. Letzter Überlebender in einer menschenleeren Welt zu sein, dies Thema hat Autoren seit jeher fasziniert. Doch keiner hat diesen Zustand derart existenzialistisch eingedampft wie McCarthy. Kein Baum, kein Strauch, keine Kreatur. Übrig ist nichts als das nackte Dasein. Wir kennen nicht den Anlass der Katastrophe, die Amerika in den nuklearen Winter gestürzt hat. Bleiben ohne Orientierung. Nur dieses erbarmungswürdige Bild wird uns eingebrannt: Der namenlose Vater und sein kleiner Sohn, ihren Einkaufswagen mit den wenigen Habseligkeiten über menschenleere Highways unter ewigem Ascheregen südwärts schiebend, in der Hoffnung auf ein wenig Wärme. Die, man ahnt es, nicht mehr zu finden sein wird!

    Aus diesen frostigen Zutaten meiselt McCarthy Bilder von schauerlicher Gültigkeit. Die ständige Gefahr umherirrender Marodeure, die, grausigen Jenseitsgestalten gleich, auf der Suche nach Essbarem alles menschliche Verhalten abgelegt haben. Der Revolver des Vaters. Die verbliebenen zwei Patronen. Unmerklich jongliert McCarthy mit der Frage, ob in dieser apokalyptischen Kälte noch irgendein gütiger Gott am Wachen sei. Und bietet ebenso unmerklich eine Antwort an. Den Vater, der seinen kleinen Sohn in eiskalter Nacht unter der Plane wärmend an sich drückt. Ihn beschützend bis zum Ende. Seine letzte große Aufgabe. Spätestens jetzt wissen wir, was wir vor uns haben. Keinen Bruce Willis, keine Science fiction (was manche Mainstream-gewohnten Leser enttäuschte), -- sondern die zarte Geschichte einer großen Liebe in einer unwirtlichen Welt. Und dies fast ohne Worte! -– Ravi Unger

  • Amazon is expanding it’s Web Services program to allow sellers outside of Amazon’s program to ship items through them.

     

    Now you can sell items on any site, even using competitors’ services such as Google or eBay, and still use Amazon for storage and shipping. The Fulfillment by Amazon program was made available last fall, but was only accessible by users selling their products through Amazon’s online marketplace. The company that made an empire from its ability to store and ship items to customers in a hurry is opening up this capability to any and all that are willing to use it, regardless of where their items are sold.

     

    Sellers can take advantage of Amazon’s twenty distribution centers located globally to store and ship products. This may be a great alternative for businesses or individuals that may not have the physical storage or retail space to hold all their products. Take it as an opportunity to expand your online commerce. Sounds like a great business move for Amazon, as they’re now enabling their already-present physical manifestations to essentially be rented on a much larger scale. And of course it lures in businesses and encourages them to sell through Amazon, as may sellers can ship for free.

     

    This offering by Amazon comes on the heels of some bad press regarding their intent to take down Statsaholic. Check out the first in a long string of additional details here.
