TechnoConundrums: Online Shopping; Amazon; Specifications

By Neil J. Squillante | Monday, March 6, 2006

No one loves the technology industry more than I do, but it sure has its share of conundrums. My latest observations:

• Given the number of people who use shopping comparison sites, why do prices for the same item often vary to a such a large degree?

• On a related point, why do shipping charges vary so widely for the same product among various online resellers?

• Am I the only person who finds Amazon's user interface overly complex and distracting? Has Amazon jumped the shark?

• Given the importance of specifications when evaluating technology products, why do so many companies provide incomplete specifications? For example, most laptop case manufacturers don't list the weight of the case.

Thoughts?
