So, it's about Dash + Home Services + Goat Grazer.
That beats Pacmaps for sure!

Re: Amazon Dash Button
#52This looks awful. Imagine a house full of branded buttons. Yuk. Though I'm sure my toddler would love pressing them endlessly. And all that packaging in the video, the horror. It must an April fools joke.
The timing is terrible. Even if it's not a joke, they've just set themselves up for this exact comment. Surely someone would have thought of this? Just seems like a really bad choice -- too bad for a company like Amazon to make (the timing, that is, coupled with a highly-branded product like this).
April Fools jokes don't happen until tomorrow, no? I can't remember any jokes happening on March 31.

This happens every year. Lots of product announcements do go out around April 1 because it's the end of first quarter. Also there's lots of B.S. april fools day jokes. Hilarity ensues.

#54Can't we machine-learn when people need new items based on past order history, instead of requiring them to push a button?

#56It's being reported on as if it's not a joke, so I'm now assuming it isn't: http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/31/8316775/amazon-dash-button...

It's April 1 in much of the eastern hemisphere.

#58They have removed the last piece of the hassle of shopping. Now you don't need to even get your computer out and search your past orders.
In all honesty, I don't think I would use the buttons though. The API is the important piece. I could see me configuring this with IFTTT do button or something. Do things like order a week of groceries when I know I'm going to be home for a week, etc.
I'm sure people are going to hate on these buttons, think of the API here.

#59The video reads like some kind of dystopian consumer hell. Everything comes in a packet from a trusted brand who is taking care of you. Consume! Consume! Consume! See you useless you are when you can't consume! Your whole day is ruined. Good job we've got your back. We'll send you some more of those precious packets.
what isn't to love about this, oh look i'm running out of bog roll so I push the button ordering more....a little while later it arrives - probably the next day with 0 p & p as i have amazon prime.
I get lots of small deliveries of whatever i need an can spend less time shopping - perfect.
