I would love to see someone compete with Amazon, but who on Earth can? I think most of their strength comes from their ridiculously good infrastructure; both technological and the $14bn they just spent on new warehouses.

Who the heck can compete with that? The only one in a position to (that I can think of) is Walmart, and I don't think their track record is very good thus far.

Although I can't find the source, I remember Amazon being referred to as the "world's largest charity" or some-such, because Bezos could give a heck about short term profits, and always push for the long-term gain. They're slowly taking over the world @.@.

Apologies. Just musing.
