They can suck on it! Quoting: bigD111 Yes, cause Microsoft is the good guy. They wouldn't allow deep state spying on anything... I work with both companies every day and I would consider Microshaft to be the slimiest and most untrustworthy company I have ever seen. So..a perfect match for the deep state. |

Might as well embed the tech expertise into the us gov/mil which now owns them, que no? Who has the traffic to conceal within the bandwith, 'shopping galleries', pay per view events, crypto transactions, CP, etc? Video game platforms like Xbox, streaming services like amazon prime? Two examples of many offerings from these boehemoths. Not to mention the global shipping, warehousing, logistics, and last mile services (soon to include drones) for the world, mastered by amazon. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4786513 United States 10/26/2019 02:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to dailycaller.com (secure)] Quoting: The Deplorable Mechanic 50% The Trump administration tossed a curveball Friday at Amazon and awarded a $10 billion cloud contract the company was expecting to land to one of the tech titan’s biggest competitors, Microsoft. Amazon had long been considered a front-runner for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI. The decision came after President Donald Trump, a critic of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, instructed the Department of Defense in August to put the contract on hold. “This contract will address critical and urgent unmet warfighter requirements for modern cloud infrastructure at all three classification levels delivered out to the tactical edge,” the DOD noted in a statement Friday after the announcement. Amazon said it was surprised at the result, which took months to happen. “AWS is the clear leader in cloud computing, and a detailed assessment purely on the comparative offerings clearly led to a different conclusion,” Drew Herdener, a spokesman for the company, told reporters. Amazon will continue to be at the forefront of battle-readiness, he added. ' bill' ' gates'...c'mon man! ' micro'' soft'...' cloud'. I mean really. 'Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI' - bwahaha! REALLY? 'wow'. |

Bezos is the poster child of a sociopath. He's greedy and only cares about profit. Remember last week an Amazon warehouse employee laid dead (heart attack) on an Amazon distribution center floor 20 mins before anyone responded. Yet this same employee was previously reprimanded for taking a 2 min bathroom break. Bezos needs to die a slow and painful death. He reminds me of Lex Luther or Dr. Evil. That's true but you do know the MS stands for in MSNBC right? Amazon and microsoft are both doing hit piece son trump 24/7 |
