Can't believe this clickbait is at the top of HN. Look at the quality of analysis this guy gives.

>Amazon "Kind of sucks" >Amazon "has a world-class distribution system"

Which is it?

> I started looking around, comparing prices, and found that this is not unusual. Pretty much anything Amazon sells that is also sold at your local big box store costs much more.

Care to provide even just one example?

> I’m too lazy to figure out which page the first one pops up on, because I gave up on page 12. Even if you sort by Apple as the manufacturer, you get a bewildering array of crap that isn’t what you’re looking for. Walk into an Apple store or Best Buy and you can figure it out in seconds.

Too lazy? To sort through some results?

This article reads like a Facebook post.

yeah. too lazy to sort through 12 pages of results to find the lowest price, when a computer should do it for you in 1 second

1s? You mean 50ms?
