Comment The Prime Trap (Score 1) 116

Amazon is being ever more aggressive about getting people into their PRIME service.

I've seen on multiple types of listings now the "Prime Price" showing up as the default when searching for something and that price that is ONLY good if you have prime is often 20-30% cheaper than the base price.

You can't turn this off either, when you see search results the "Prime Price" is the default and you don't know it till you dig into the listing and have to manually set it to "retail" price.

It's an absolute garbage pattern.

Comment Chasing trends instead of setting them (Score 1) 37

Back in the late 00's, Apple was on a roll. Coming out with authentically novel products that both looked good and functioned good.

Ever since Jobs died they have just been churning the same waters of "lighter, slightly faster". Now their chasing trends, first VR headsets that they have been late to the party with and are overpriced, then with AI, now with going for the VR/AR Glasses.
