Amazon patents method to stop bad gifts en route

When it comes to receiving gifts, we sometimes get stuff that we absolutely loathe, perhaps it is due to the insensitivity or plain thick skull of the giver. Amazon might just change that, as they are on the verge of revolutionizing online gift-giving after securing a patent for a system which allows folks to return unwanted presents before they even receive them. This new procedure will enable registered Amazon users to “convert” all gifts from a specific giver, which would allow them to create a list of people whose gift choices would be screened before shipment. Of course, this will require complicated algorithms that would form a “wizard” which guides users through the process of creating rules in order to redirect purchases from a hypothetical sender. Of course, you can also take advantage of the option for sending Thank You notes – now that’s a nice touch! E-retailers might not be too happy with this since returned purchases equals to additional costs such as shipping, storage and labor. Intercepting your gift before it arrives? Neat!

Can you name all the movies? http://www.overthinkingit.com

TRANSCRIPT: Shame on you. This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're going to let it be the worst. And I guarantee a week won't go by in your life you won't regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I'm not going home. We've come too far! And I'm going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails... but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I'm not saying it's going to be easy. You're going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that's fine, we'll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That's how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you've got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You're like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death... that's the Chicago Way! Who's with me? Clap! Clap! Don't let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let's fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our Independence Day! From: MBelinkie Views: 191967
