And, more to the point, they ought to have some concept of the durability of the products that they're selling.
Chances of someone buying a washing machine wanting to buy an identical one within a month - somewhat minimal.
Chances of someone buying washing powder wanting to buy more of the same within a month - somewhat higher.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Some people actually argue they do. I'm not one of them.
My favorite from Amazon is still the fact that they spam my mailbox almost daily for stuff I might actually want, but they won't ship to my address. You'd think they'd send that through some filter...

While we're at it, can they make a usable UI/UX for AWS?

Yeah, so I'm bored at home right now. What does that mean for you @Marc-Clifton? Well, it means you're gonna suffer. @chris-maunder too since we're taking a trip down memory lane today.
I present to you one of a zillion reasons why JavaScript and web development is awesome.
BAM!!![^]
Read it and weep. The background music is actually coming from a YouTube video. No joke. And you'll need to watch until the end.
One day... one day Marc... you'll accept JavaScript. One day.
There's a slight chance the background image may not load btw. It's my first time using CodePin like this.

Really?
And you do realize you could make it simpler. "Marquee" for life!

Oh snap. We need to bring back the blink tag man.

Write a Java applet that does that and embed it in HTML using applet tag.

Misspelling of CodeProject aside, a big shout out for 311ERock.

Amen to that brother. Ever since you linked to him the other day I make it a point to swing by his channel.

I enjoy 331ERock but I think Leo Moracchioli is better - he made some covers that are way better than the original songs!

Well done.

Cool !
I hope you'll write an article about this.
cheers, Bill

I would, but I'm on a job hunt right now... so it's my main goal. I should though. Someone needs to show JavaScript some love.

What browser was it? I really didn't test it much since I was just farting around. I coded it on Chrome.

Sorry, I am using: Google Chrome 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable), and still the same problem. Which is more weird if it all works for you. If I had the right skills I might be able to figure out why.

No worries man. It was mainly bait for Marc anyway and not exactly production code. I am slightly curious though. May be network related. You can always check out the network tab in Chrome's dev tools to see.

That's OK, just a pity it didn't work for me. It looked quite amusing.

Ok, I already replaced the text with this one:
Quote: It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy....
Now let's have the text scroll in 3D and let's replace the background.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

I can't see how JavaScript connected here?! You can do the same without a bit of it...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
