Check out this excellent Amazon hack-lite response to the pepper-spraying cop scandal and “Accept no substitutes when casually repressing students.”
Amazon.com sells a whole lot of crap, web hosting included, and although the Associated Press isn’t quite sure whether the company severed its ties with WikiLeaks.org or if the latter is leaving them, one thing can be confirmed: the leaky website is down right now. But don’t lose hope fellow classified document enthusiasts, at least you can still “friend” them… for now.

Online book-selling monolith, Amazon.com, isn’t happy with the NY’s newly changed tax law that now requires “out-of-state internet retailers to collect sales taxes if they have a physical presence in the state.” Even though Amazon only sells its goods online, the state is claiming that the retailer’s “associates” program—whereby blogs and websites receive 10% in exchange for creating links that refer readers to buy the company’s stuff—are “considered sales representatives under the new law” and therefore Amazon must collect sales tax. |BizJournals|
