...sheer number of competitive websites alone will put pressure on Amazon's growth--one reason Bezos is adding categories as fast as he can. During the past year, he's added video games and DVD movies, toys, electronics, software, home-improvement products, auctions and zShops--an online flea market where anyone can sell anything. Bezos says he wants to double his offerings again next year. The company also has minority stakes in other e-commerce companies such as Drugstore.com Pets.com HomeGrocer.com Gear.com and Della.com a wedding and gift registry...
...HOME TOWN This fond but completely unsentimental portrait of Northampton, Mass., captures the joys and the sheer human cussedness on daily display there. Tracy Kidder lives nearby, and he spent years listening to his neighbors and walking their streets. His book is an extraordinary feat of reporting and writing, a vivid reminder both of why so many Americans flee the small towns of their birth and why so many of them miss the sense of belonging that such places inspire...

Their actions may be laughable, but they're not so far from the pains we in the "real" world...
...born in Draper, S.D. on a cattle ranch. My town has less than 100 people in it. I grew up with cows and horses--it was pretty strange. My high school had 17 people in our graduating class. Coming to Harvard, it was just sheer size difference. I had never met a total stranger in my life until I came to Harvard. Or, it would be like, OK, my grandfather knows your grandfather. It's like seven degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon, but it's really like two degrees of Kevin Bacon. I guess I was characterized as a jock...
