Pump n dump. There's a story on bloomberg that radioshack had been a target for months of leveraged buyout rumors in pump n dump schemes and now, finally, "woosh sound of relaxation" thats all over. LOL little optimistic, not done beating this dead horse yet.

Locally malls have transitioned from "sells everything" in the 80s to about 95% womens clothing, the food court, and that radio shack that just wont die. Being in the mall MIGHT be useful if amazon wants to expand its sales of womens clothes. I am not, as far as I know, a woman, but I could find it incredibly useful to go "somewhere" and get 3-D scanned / measured and then have a giant clustered database translate my…
There was a German company that tried this using a webcam and a Compact Disc (for size reference). http://site.upcload.com/ I still think the best solution is to measure the normal tailors measurements with a tape, upload them, and then have manufacturers upload the exact measurements of their clothing in corresponding areas.

Would make sense for Amazon to do this, they could stock a limited inventory and expand their quick-delivery option for a limited set of products.
It'd be a hell of a lot better than the neglected "demo" devices glued to a display in Best Buy they have right now.
This would mean sales tax in all 50 states for amazon purchases.

Well, they're at AT&T stores, many of which are in mall, and it doesn't look like it's helped any.
Last time I was in an AT&T store the Fire wasn't even powered on. After using the UI I understood why.
