So what is quality skin? Is there something more to it that smooth and featureless?

Both Moore's law and its namesake creator, Gordon Moore, are approaching their end of life. Which do you believe will survive the other, and why?

I've honestly come to the conclusion that some people simply don't read descriptions.

That's part of it. The other problem: Amazon's search is broken.

Bold statement, right? Let me back that up with a concrete example:

Here is a search that I did for "galaxy s5 case", then selected the cell-phone accessories category, then sorted by average customer review. (I selected that category, in fact, only because Amazon requires that you select a category in order to get it to allow you to sort by average customer review.)

My mind now is fully in the mode of, "I'm shopping for galaxy s5 cases" because that's what I told Amazon to search for. So when I come to the third line down (the 8th item presented), I'm busy looking at the cases themselves and I don't see that Amazon has decided to show me one of FIVE Motorola Moto G cases, which is absolutely not what I searched for. FIVE of them. On the first page. (Why the assumption and expectation that I'm looking at galaxy s5 cases? Because every other half-assed store on the Internet will give me my exact search results and not throw in incompatible items.) Seventh line down? Wow. There is a Galaxy S4 case.

Your returns department is so freaking busy with returns (from all departments) because when somebody searches for something very specific, then changes the sort criteria to something other than Relevance, they get very flawed search results.

This costs the customers time and convenience. This costs Amazon money. Please take this issue and escalate it internally. (As a customer, I've tried complaining through channels on an unrelated search... perhaps it was rechargeable batteries... and was told that is just how your search works. No, if I'm searching for AA batteries, I'm not interested in seeing any AAA bulk batteries packs in my search results.)

Amazon needs to fix this.

TL;DNR: Technically, they're right. There is a widely diversified portfolio. If image matters, they should probably remove the controversial components. Likely a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, and nothing sinister.

I'm not an apologist, but color me interested. I looked at where the story broke: http://proisraelbaybloggers.blogspot.co.il/2014/04/multi-millionaire-bdser-medea-benjamin.html

"Medea Benjamin controls the assets of a foundation worth 12 million dollars." That foundation appears to have followed basic financial strategy, which is to diversify investments. There are selected pages that list some individual stocks which are part of the fund. I'm not finding any page numbers on it which would give some scale.

However, if you look at the last page, "Cameco Corp, Canadian Nat'l Railway, Caterpillar Inc", aside from Caterpillar, we've got two other company stocks which fit on the page and begin with just the letters CA.

I think we'd be a lot more informed if we saw all the pages in their original context, rather than three pages with one company name on each of them. This sounds like a really diversified portfolio and nothing more.

However, I think that if they are involved in protesting these companies in some way (I don't have the background there), then it will certainly look better for if they were not holding stock in those same companies.
