They didn't remotely delete it as much delete it on their side and the unintended consequences took effect.

It's kind of like how iTunes synchronizes your iPod - it only synchs things that appear in its own library. If a file gets removed from your iTunes library, it will get removed from your iPod on the next synch.

Besides. Amazon offered a refund or a replacement book to the affected customers, as well as modified their software so the same thing can't happen again.

In short, the people wharrgarbling about "B B BUT REMOTE DELETION!!1" are misinformed asshats, as usual.

You sound communist



My pun flew right over your head, like a border-crossing Mexican leaping over a fence.

Oof, this thread stinks of neo-brutalism. In fact, most Fark threads do. Being a complete jackass has replaced comments that are actually funny. Stay classy!

Wow, I did whiff that badly, guess I was too anxious to make a joke.
