Android Gains on Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| As if Google doesn't have enough high-octane foes, it's about to pick a fight
| with another giant: Amazon (AMZN). The Wall Street Journal reports that the
| search giant is planning to launch software that will allow book publishers
| to sell digital versions that will work with any computer, e-book, or
| smartphone that can access the Web. This puts Google in direct competition
| with Amazon, which sells electronic versions of books for its Kindle. What's
| next, Google—taking on Jesus Christ or something? You gonna offer a
| Linux-based patch that lets us walk on water?
