Don't Forget to Turn Out the Lights, Tony

The announcement that Amazon is buying Zappos is so sad. What online retailing needs is more innovators, not fewer. Jeff Bezos of Amazon (recommendation engine and free delivery over $25) and Tony Hsieh of Zappos (free delivery both ways, 365-day guarantee and social...
