"Amazon will likely succeed only in alienating customer with PlayBooks who have already purchased lots of streaming video content."

Isn't that a bit dramatic?? I mean look at this, "RIM sold into the channels approximately 150,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in the third quarter...".

Ok, that is Q3, and you can go back to April 2011, but still, just how many are there really who a) bought a PlayBook, and b) "have already purchased lots of streaming video content" ??

I venture to think Amazon maybe "doesn't give a shit".

They tried, several times. And quite predictably failed.

They tried and failed?
They tried and died.

How about body double Young Frankenstein's Monster ?

Um, do we really, really want to implant something that thinks parts of us are food? It's not like the yeast are gonna say "whoa, we've had enough! If we get any more food we're gonna start multiplying like crazy, and we don't want that!"

AND they're connecting them to a mechanical device? Can you say "flesh-eating robots devour mankind"? ;-)

I embrace our mechano-eukaryotic overlords

HA!! I personally mod this up +5 "Funny Coz It's True."

"They deserve a long and very painful and unpleasant life instead."
