Amazon’s palm-reading tech is coming

Amazon’s palm-reading tech is gonna be provided when you are entering sports stadiums or music venues. And it can be extended to any other event, of course.

So we are making it more simple for entering, they claim.

But also more simple to track us via big data approaches. Of course, Google and Apple know already all the time where we have been. I assume that most people have the GPS service of their mobile phones switched on. Amazon is there a bit behind as they „only“ know our shopping habits.

Amazon pays no taxes

It must be very comfortable that Amazon pays no taxes.

I agree they are doing a great job, if you see it from a client view. They have revolutionized the e-commerce and created the cloud business with AWS.

But looking at the worker conditions and also how they are able to squeeze the countries is awful! The mentioned article is about the US, but you can assume that it’s the same in other countries.
