Sometimes I'm afraid to think what would happen if Amazon merges with Google. No other combination would be so terrifying: neither Google+FB, nor FB+Apple, nor anything else. Amazon and Google control so much nowadays. It's probably very good that they're still independent companies and sometimes competitors.

The owners of a company are who count, and they're generally investors who would be happy to form a monopoly and perform an innovation-free rent extraction on the planet for the rest of time if possible.
