Oh, don't get me wrong - I think the One-Click shopping thing is an obvious
good idea.  So obvious that I can't believe that it deserves a patent and
that someone would actually pay for the rights to use it.  What's next?  Is
Apple going to pay Rubyk for the use of his design for its new G4s? ;-)

(Sudden thought: Of course, Apple may hold stock or other interest in Amazon
and this is someway to keep them from getting even deeper in the red....)
