I don't get it either. It's like the failed 'Facebook Phone'. A specific phone won't make it any easier or better to shop on amazon. Anyone who can install the apps or visit the website can do that.
They should be moving towards a model where you can individually allow or disallow a permission, even if the app says it requires it. But this would cause chaos for all those apps that require 'full internet access' so they can push ads, collect data, invade your privacy, and molest your children.
Don't start all this "can't tell the difference" crap. Until you can get internet lags and stutters completely eliminated we'll be able to tell the difference.
To some people if you made a virtual VHS rental service they'd even want something that simulates rewinding. They don't understand that some things become obsolete and are replaced by something different.
I use the Kindle app on my Android phone. I would never buy a standalone reader because I read when it's convenient. My phone is almost always with me and fits in my pocket.
When I was working at a major oil processing facility I had to have $2 million insurance just to drive on site and park in the lot. A normal policy is $1 million. Asking for $5 million dollars in liability insurance isn't outrageous.
When people find out they were hit by an autonomous with a driver who is only monitoring the system they're going to sue the crap out of the owner, driver, AND the state. And they damn well should.
I haven't seen any interest. I've only ever seen one standing desk and that was because someone had a back problem, not an exercise thing. I've never seen a treadmill at a workstation. I haven't heard of anyone wanting one either. So no, I don't think there's ANY interest from anybody other than the people selling them.

Your memory sucks.
I doubt that paid editors are a problem compared to the volunteer power tripping crazies that control the majority of Wikipedia.
"Don't be so successful that you make billions of dollars!" - sounds like a great business slogan
But the online reviewers will know about this and they'll make damn sure they update their reviews.

$1 million coverage is not enough.

Vaccinations aren't 100% effective. Many people that receive the shots are still susceptible to the disease.

There won't be any. Google is smart enough to get licences.
It's just as 'right' to think of events as happening at the same time when you don't correct for speed of light time between them.
How fast is a midichlorian particle?
They're assembling a massive database of personal information. Sound pretty American to me.
Buying toys online is just so embarrassing.

Technology needs to develop in stages. It doesn't go from concept to full-blown earth-shattering product like it does in bad science fiction movies.

"the largest earthquake ever recorded" is well within the realm of possibility in Japan.
Lots of wheel powered cars can take-off if something upsets them.
Also it's a V8 not V12.
Killowatts per parsec. Something, something, Kessel Run.
