Surely if Amazon allowed the others to show Prime then this would a non-issue?
So it's Amazon's fault for not allowing others to show their videoes (for whatever reason) so now Amazon won't make money from sellers using Amazon as a store front. Losing yet more money.
I wonder what the big corporate shareholders think of this 'cut off my nose to spite my face' attitude?

How did they think one John Smith is going to be different from another John Smith since Facebook allows duplicate names? Were they going to publish phone numbers so you know who you really are looking at? Or stealing photos from Facebook and publishing them without consent?

15 MILLION T-Mobile US customer records swiped by hackers
Don't worry, it was all a big misunderstanding.
Experian thought they could sell T-Mobile data to anyone without asking permission. Their lawyers have just noticed this and to protect themselves from lawsuits/class action etc. they claim they were 'hacked'. All your private data will obviously be used for spam (email and postal) - by the original purchasers. So no worries Legere, it's all sorted now :-)

Has the UK Uber crackdown begun? TfL opens consultation on private car biz
Can't see why black cabs are under stricker controls than private hire (Uber or others) - if I get in any of them I want to know they're proper insured, had police background checks and the vehicle is 'fit for purpose' (so no VW's then !!).
The Knowledge or satnav - couldn't care less. If you phone for a private hire, they ask where you are and where you want to go, giving the driver time to shove the info into his/her satnav, if you hail a black cab, the driver has to know how to get to your destination off the top of his head. That's why they charge a premiun but with GPS apps like Waze, GPS users can see road works,diversions,slow moving traffic etc. and potentially gets you to your destination quicker.
