It amuses me that hours after I posted this Amazon announced it is bricking a feature of one of its products. The feature it used to justify the higher price. Less than a year ago.

Can we just stop buying gadgets? Maybe get rock gardens and into baking instead? Are we allowed? Or will the fragile American consumer economy collapse?
