  What if e-commerce becomes more expensive than ret

  I just bought a new Gateway PC last night. Contrary to recent articles on techdirt, the retail price at Best Buy was lower than their online price. (The online site didn't even have my model, and listed less powerful PC's at a higher price). I even checked gateway.com, and their price was higher than the in-store price.

  Amazon Patents E-Commerce Basics... Again

  This is beggining to sound like that australian folk who maneged to patent the wheel (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1418165.stm). According to bbc, the title of his invention was "circular transportation facilitation device", quite funny...
  And how do they (amazon, the australian folk, or any of these patent maniacs) get to enforce their "rights"?

    Ah, that would be in a court of law where the lawyers get to make a ton of money and just about everyone else, including me and you lose out in one way or another.
