Wal-Mart++?

I've ordered lawn mower parts, (kid's) toys, a laptop, a Kindle, hard drives, etc, etc from Amazon this year.

My local hardware store didn't have the lawnmower parts I needed but Amazon did.

I ordered a Wii from Amazon, got a better deal and extra crap with it...Amazon is the only place I shop online.

Yes, but did you launch 100 Linux servers, store a couple of hundred GB of data, or run a MapReduce job?

You will...
