The Amazon Hardware Event
Amazon’s Questionable Privacy Pitch
Amazon Unveils Day 1 Editions Initiative
Today’s update will be dedicated to going over the Amazon hardware event that was held in Seattle. We first go over my thoughts on the big picture regarding Amazon and hardware. The discussion then turns to why I think Amazon’s privacy pitch is comical. The email concludes with how Amazon’s Day 1 Editions initiative ends up being a doubling down of the company’s “failing is good” strategy.
