Jeff's giving a product talk. Most people are bored.

Is Amazon the next Apple?

Space vehicles?? 

Sounds a little divergent. Can Amazon be so good at so many things?

Or is this just vertical integration? 

It was really boring.  Had lunch yesterday at the conference and the consensus view was that Bezos's preso was a shameless plug for S3 and things, and seemed so yesterday....

A lot of Web 2.0 was boring.  See my coverage at my blog: http://www.tech-surf-blog.com (sorry, your link tool doesn't work in Safari)...which includes links to a couple posts I wrote for Read/Write Web.  A lot of the presentations were real yawners.  If it weren't for the parties and reconnecting with friends, etc, it would have been largely a bust.
