https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-tech-startup-echo-bezos-alexa-investment-fund-11595520249 Is any of you reading this really surprised?
Where’s that moron PM who was going on about Amazon’s continued innovation? They’ve been selling repackaged open source software without contributing anything back for years. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
Im a two time entrepreneur and an ex-Microsoftie, this is standard practice. And to be fair, these companies even compete internally between teams.. so grow a pair of balls and be the last survivor, that’s how businesses work. T
There was an article how Microsoft promised to hire a guy who developed a tool. Later they released exact same product under slightly different name. And guess what? They didn’t hire the guy.
This is normal business behavior. It's typically cheaper or quicker to buy into a market but if that's not an option then they'll chose to build a competiting product.
Failedfoo - that’s not an option? They met startups for an investment, they has an option: investing in these startups. Instead Amazon lied an copied. Assholes. How many of the business we work for and appreciate were not be here today if a behemoth copied them early on? Do you understand how dangerous this is?
Bro.. i hate amazon and big corps too. But reality is that even internally they compete with internal products. Its the survival of the fittest. You can’t just hope nobody competes with you.
Amazon means evil! I’m not surprised!
Invent and Simplify but I have yet to see even ounce of that
Why is everyone in the comments acting like Amazon is the only company that does this? This is pretty common
No. Not like that, not as a system. Many companies who become interested after investment talk go and just acquire.
That's the retail mentality. Anything to make a buck.
Walton family is spending billions in propaganda to demonise Jeff and Amazon. Rational people won’t buy this news.
You are abusing workers, polluting the planet and will do everything to make a buck. This is not propaganda.
Lol. What BS. What are you L10 or something at amazon??
Fuck amazon. Should be broken up.
