Amazon Sues Alexaholic

theodp writes "ZDNet reports that as Jeff Bezos tap-danced out of a cringe moment at Web 2.0 Expo prompted by Tim O'Reilly's questioning of why Amazon couldn't get along with Alexaholic (now Statsaholic), Amazon had already filed a lawsuit to legally spank the tiny company into oblivion."

Thanks Tim

Keep up the good work.

Why does that name sound so familiar?

Amazon's shame

[Anonymous Coward]

Jeff Bezos is an active pedophile and rapist. In a similar way to Michael Jackson - but much more sinister - he procures young children, leads them into his mansion and touches them in all the inappropriate places. A few complaints have been brought against him, but he uses his vast riches from Amazon to pay the parents off. It's sick and wrong.

I'm glad Tim O'Reilly took a stand against this Alexaholic thing, but someone needs to stand up and shoot him down for his child molesting.

Everbody loses??

The folks at Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe beg to differ.

You're either thinking of an excellent line of tech books, or you're thinking of a far-right-wing Fox pundit infamous for cutting the mic of his guests, his sometimes uncontrollable temper, his misinformative Talking Points, and his outrageous, illogical, irresponsible, and despicable "opinions", showcased by, for example, his blaming immigration policy for a drink driving incident and his general insensitivity and partisan agenda-pushing.

Either is good.

The problem with Statsaholic

[Anonymous Coward]

It has been shown in multiple studies that statsahol use is a gateway to statsajuana and statsamphetamine. Good for Bezos!

Yep, caught in the article too. Surprise, surprise...Spyware company tries to stamp out anything even closely resembling competition. I find spyware to be very educational. It taught me a lot about the Windows Registry.

I must admit I did read "Amazon Sues Sexaholic" first time round. But what if we turned the tables around..

Sexaholics Sue Amazon

That would be one classy action suit!
