It's ironic that one of the product shots includes a child using a $599 laptop while wearing $549 headphones.

I worked at Amazon 2005-2008 as a Software Dev Engineer. To hammer home company culture, there were two awards which could be awarded at the Quarterly All-hands meeting * The "Just…

I realize this article is one data point but I'd offer that I have a completely opposite data point. 1. We accidentally turned off our main Intercom in-trial campaign for a segment…

Perhaps I should have added more context to the title and text as the purpose of the post seems lost to most commenters. Rebecca Meyer is the daughter of Eric Meyer who you may kno…

Considering how tight-lipped Amazon is about everything (including the fact that they've never divulged the number of Kindles sold) I'd imagine Jeff Bezos and Tom Szkutak might be …

I find it pretty obnoxious that someone leaked this. This is classic "ruining it for everyone". That app, when I worked at Amazon, was open to any employee. It would totally suck i…
