With these companies constantly getting into each others' business, I'm reminded of the old joke:
Heaven is where the police are British, the lovers French, the mechanics German, the chefs Italian, and it is all organized by the Swiss.
Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, the police German, and it is all organized by the Italians.
In just the last three years, Google has gotten into mobile devices, social networking and now allegedly e-commerce, Amazon now does full-on computing devices (with Google's OS) and Microsoft has the #2 search engine. This is getting hard to keep track of. And no wonder everyone keeps expecting Facebook to come out with a phone.
This report seems like the oddest one yet. Does a shipping service even qualify as organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible and useful?
