[edit] Merge Amazon.com info with Amazon.com?

This article has much info about Amazon.com that is not included in the Amazon.com article. Perhaps that Amazon.com info should be migrated into that article and out of this one? — TreyHarris 21:24, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Internet & Nuclear War Myth

I would just like to point out that the following paragraph is not entirely accurate and may want to be reworked or removed:

The Internet was originally created by the United States Department of Defense to keep its computer networks connected during an emergency, such as natural disaster or enemy attack. Over the years, it was adopted by government and academic researchers to exchange data and messages.

See: ARPANET's section on "Nuclear Attacks and ARPANET" for my justification. The above paragraph is also an oversimplification. ARPANET was created mainly to test certain networking technologies (packet switching mainly) and to share information amongst certain institutions... not to withstand attacks. Also the DOD did not have "computer networks" to connect together in the way the paragraph describes. I would change it, but I have not yet confirmed which fact is true, so I am just putting this out here and might make the change in a few days, unless someone knows for sure.

[edit] Enormous paragraph

That paragraph is WAY too long. It needs to be broken up and run on sentences need to be fixed. I had to stop reading because it became too hard to read.--Mrowlinson 04:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ancest?

In the Trivia section, there's this word ancest. I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean.

[edit] IP-related lawsuits missing from the article

I believe spurious patents such as the infamous "one-click-shopping" and their use against Amazon's competitors should be included in this entry, seeing how Jeff Bezos has created significant controversy around his name on account of these tactics. Porfyrios 12:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Jeff Bezos is often misrepresented by the Greek media as possessing Greek ancestry."

So then what ancestory does he have? -- Zanimum 22:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
