Would be interesting if you can buy the bond gadgets from Amazon :-)

Upgrade (RelayFM podcast) covered this on this weeks episode and this apparently will come down to what the Broccoli family will agree too since really they own the rights to Bond

#7I asked years ago (and I'll ask again!)
I wonder what Las Vegas would look like if tech companies started buying / building hotels in Vegas
At one point MGM owned almost 1 third - half the strip (ish) - recently they've been selling off properties which is a shame, MGM properties are my preferred resorts.
Maybe Amazon can breath some life into Excalibur or Luxor but it sounds like those are not part of the deal

#8If I had to pick a single politically uniting issue, breaking up Amazon and big tech would be it.
Why has this not happened yet? Is the out of power party afraid the in power party will get credit? (This has been discussed when both parties were in power)
If the government can't get something with this kind of support done, I fear the road we are headed down .

lol, online monopoly isn't enough for the tech companies? You want them to monopolize offline too? :)

#10As much as I dislike Amazon, I am continually surprised at how hands off their streaming creations seem to be. Expanse is probably biggest anti-corporate rant on TV I saw in a while.
If they continue to treat their streaming arms as another business and not PR, it is a great move.
