Amazon and its handling of the Kindle is turning into a public relations nightmare. Only when threatened with a class action law suit did Amazon take responsibility for a basic design flaw. http://blogs.zdnet.com/gadgetreviews/?p=5982&tag=nl.e550

Steve Dalkowski met Roger Maris once. It did not take long — “three straight pitches,” Dalkowski recalled, through the blur of 46 very hard years. They were legends when they met under the lights at a minor league stadium in Miami on March 22, 1963. Maris was a legend for having hit a record 61 homers in 1961; Dalkowski was a legend for being perhaps the fastest pitcher ever. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/sports/b...l/19vecsey.html

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technolo...8amazon.html?em In George Orwell’s “1984,” government censors erase all traces of news articles embarrassing to Big Brother by sending them down an incineration chute called the “memory hole.” On Friday, it was “1984” and another Orwell book, “Animal Farm,” that were dropped down the memory hole — by Amazon.com. In a move that angered customers and generated waves of online pique, Amazon remotely deleted some digital editions of the books from the Kindle devices of readers who had bought them. An Amazon spokesman, Drew Herdener, said in an e-mail message that the books were added to the Kindle store by a company that did not have rights to them, using a self-service function. “When we were notified of this by the rights holder, we removed the illegal copies from our systems and from customers’ devices, and refunded customers,” he said. --------------------------------------- People who bought the rescinded editions of the books reacted with indignation, while acknowledging the literary ironies involved. “Of all the books to recall,” said Charles Slater, an executive with a sheet-music retailer in Philadelphia, who bought the digital edition of “1984” for 99 cents last month. “I never imagined that Amazon actually had the right, the authority or even the ability to delete something that I had already purchased.”
