I just tried this as well, and could not duplicate the poster's experience.
Amazon does display certain widgets to help you find related items. For example, they have: - Recommendations based on products you have purchased, rated, etc., on Amazon - Recently view items based on products you have browsed on Amazon - Related items based on your searches on Amazon
To the poster: can you be more specific in what you did?
My guess is that you went to Amazon and either did a search or looked at a product, etc., and you just forgot. Don't forget that if you do a Google search and land on an Amazon page, then obviously that becomes part of your recently viewed items.
At my company, we have decentralized IT to a large extent such that each group has the resources they need.
This kind of organizational structure has worked out quite well. For example when our DBAs were in a centralized group, the DBs were often abused, and the DBAs didn't get much sleep. Now that the DBAs are in each group that uses the DBs, they can more effectively educate the users and keep things under better control.
Additionally, software engineers now work more closely with the business stake holders, and there's more effective communication: the engineers better understand what the business folks want, and the business folks better understand why what they want is not always easy to deliver.
