Last night on 60 Minutes, Jeff Bezos began a Tweeting and Media firestorm with Amazon’s plans to (one day) deliver packages in under thirty minutes via drone.

+ There is some major news regarding Amazon and other big online retailers. The Supreme Court declined to take a case related to state efforts to force online retailers to collect sales tax from customers.
