Fighting Accessibity Weaseling by Amazon et al, Victory!
Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
JANUARY 31, 2014
Last September, I wrote a Beneblog post: Objecting to Accessibility Weaseling , about Amazon and other ebook reader makers trying to dodge out on making their devices accessible. So, last year, Benetech joined with the National Federation of the Blind and over twenty other groups that care about consumers with disabilities to object to an attempt by Amazon and their competitors to secure a permanent exemption from accessibility requirement for many of the ebook readers.

I’ve been getting to know Amazon S3 lately, and there are some great things about it.

We’ve been using it for “offsite&# backup for drupal sites for a while now. We have a script going which runs by cron daily to do the backups. There are a number of ways to do this.

Lame spams of the day: Fake Amazon and PayPal receipts
Robert Weiner
DECEMBER 5, 2012
They're similar to the fake Amazon HDTV receipts I wrote about in September. 2) The Amazon receipts have no details about what I purchased. 3) I got a dozen of the Amazon spams. One note on the Amazon spams -- they include payments for gift certificates in odd amounts, like $5.99, $2.99, $4.99. Text: Here's the text of one of the Amazon messages.

Lame spam of the day: Amazon cancelation
Robert Weiner
MAY 2, 2012
This doesn't look remotely like an email from Amazon. Lame lame lame. And of course it's not for a product I ordered. Would someone really click this? Previous incarnations of this spam have led to a Canadian online pharmacy, and the hyperlinks in this one lead to a site in Canada. Sender: order-update@amazon.com. Subject: Amazon.com - Your Cancellation (147-911-9683). Text: (yes, blank lines at the top). Dear Customer, Your order has been successfully canceled.

We have to inform yo that amazon shipped your item, and that this completes your order. Unless otherwise noted, items are sold by Amazon LLC. I got 3 versions of this today. The most amusing part is that the shipping address is a mail merge field with my email address inserted. I'm sure that will produce some funny results for people with more creative email addresses. I don't see any posts about what the links do and don't intend to find out.
Amazon eBook pricing war: Thanks for being evil, Apple

Apparently, Amazon is now getting push back from publishers, starting with Macmillan, who want them to charge more than $9.99 As a result, Amazon pulled Macmillan books from their US store: I’ve talked to a person in the industry with knowledge of the dispute who says the disappearance is the result of a disagreement between Amazon.com and book publishers that has been brewing for the last year. Now, Amazon is fighting what is essentially the same battle.

Clearly, that’s not all Amazon does, but connecting people is a really important part of what they do. So, is Amazon a social network? While less obvious than eBay, Amazon’s marketplace also rests on a network of people.
