    .. how Slashdot carefully spoon-feeds the Wired articles to the public.

    Come on guys every single more-than-one-page-long article from current issue of Wired was presented as "news" over the last few weeks.

    Either Slashdot is (albeit slowly) jumping the shark or some kind of cross-marketing game is afoot.

    Bezos is hero of mine. After he won Time's Man of the Year a couple years ago, I read a book about Bezos' business strategy. It inspired me to go back to school and get my MBA!

    If there is ONE thing all that I learned from Bezos and my MBA program, it is this - it's all about style and flash, baby.

    The IT industry suffers from too many eggheads that don't know how to talk the language of business. NO BoD cares about technical details blah blah blah. It's got to sizzle, flash, POW - In your FACE!

    I found this interview to be quintessential Bezos - the man can talk, and that makes ALL the difference.

    For those who doubt this philosophy - I'm now VP of engineering in a medium-size corporation, and before long, I'll own that place.
