Amazon: Not Satisfied With Being Second Fiddle To Apple [View article]
they're starting to raise fees on third-party merchants (probably to compensate for increases in costs, but also to help their struggling margins), but even after the increase it's still overall a great deal to sell on the site. http://amzn.to/rG16sm
it treats the small merchant much better than eBay though, and there really isn't any other marketplace that allows the level of exposure that amazon provides.
a little spammy, but the complaints are a fact. maybe not anymore, but if you really care, go back to this morning/early afternoon to read about all of the people having issues.
go to amazon's facebook - there are dozens/hundreds of complaints about technical difficulties leading to inability to order (or at least order at the right price) - seems like they were not prepared for today in terms of back-end support.
Sell in May and go away? It's typically a good idea, according to stats from Jeffrey Hirsch. If you put $10K into the market on Nov. 1, 1972, and sold everything on April 30 and rebought on Nov. 1 every year, you'd have more than $160K today - average annual return: 7.4%. If you’d done the reverse, investing every May 1 and selling every Oct. 31, you’d have $7,863 - average return: 0.4%. [View news story]

To keep this article current: The buy rate of the XOOM is now listed at 71%, not the 84% listed in the article. The decline is due to Angry Birds Rio now showing up in the commonly-substituted list at 20%, so it doesn't really change the overall theme as I originally wrote it.
FYI - auditors aren't forensic accountants or fraud examiners. auditors detect abnormalities, as deloitte did, and someone else is hired to do further work.
I have a blackberry under sprint's virgin mobile brand and couldn't be happier. $35/mo for plenty of minutes and unlimited data/text. once T and VZ jack up data plans, sprint will be just fine selling 4g android devices with sub-$100 unlimited everything+tethering plans.
The iPhone (AAPL) worked slower in loading websites than Android (GOOG) 84% of the time in a test run by Blaze Software. Web pages took an average of 2.14 seconds to load on Android compared with 3.25 seconds on iPhone. “It’s not that Apple doesn’t care about speed, but Google is fanatical about it,” Blaze's chief tech officer says.
