Today's Story Highlights

PriceWaiter CEO Stephen Culp: 'Negotiation Has Been Around Forever Because It Works'
Fledgling e-commerce company PriceWaiter aims to save customers money,
time and energy by negotiating better-than-Amazon deals on top-rated
products -- simply, quickly and privately. PriceWaiter's pitch to
sellers is that it can help move inventory, maintain more margin, and
make MAP moot, resulting in more efficient pricing, new sales, and new
customers with virtually no acquisition cost.

Engaging in Ethical E-Commerce
Gone are the days when businesses just did business. Now, it's almost
expected that business values and ethics will play an enduring role in a
company's identity. From the products they sell to the way they treat
their employees, businesses are finding that they no longer can separate
what they do from what they believe -- and customers want to know what
the businesses they deal with stand for.

Amazon Goes for the Gold With HD Streaming Music Service
Amazon has announced Amazon Music HD, which offers 50 million CD-quality
songs -- 16 bits at 44.1 kHz. Customers also can stream millions more
songs in Ultra HD -- better than CD quality -- with a bit depth of 24
bits and a sample rate up to 192 kHz. Amazon Music HD will play the
highest quality audio customers' devices and network conditions will
support.

Oracle's OpenWorld Happening
Q1 in any business is the toughest for generating revenue and Oracle is
no exception. In its Q1 earnings call it admitted missing by about $70
million on a $9.2 billion nut: small but consequential. No need to run
for the smelling salts though, Oracle has been here before and it's got
this. It should be noted that in Q4 any self-respecting salesperson
works tirelessly to drain the pipeline.

Amazon Rewrites the Conquest Advertising Textbook
You've just come home from the gym and discovered that your teenager
cleaned out your stash of energy bars. Drat. You decide to order a new
supply of bars online. You usually buy Clif Bars, so you type the brand
name into Amazon search -- but just as you're about to click the "Buy
Now" button, you notice an ad for Quest Nutrition bars at the top of the
search page. The bars look appetizing.
