Jeff Bezos: After the gold rush, there's innovation ahead

[terbernt]

Having never heard Jeff Bezos speak before I will say he sounds like a California surfer. I am surprised he sounds way younger than I thought he was. Cool.

Giannis Bezos is better

I recently sold half of my Amazon stocks, I plan to sell the remaining half later this year. This decision is due to the following specifics 1. The secretive and corrupt culture at Amazon, 2. the heavy-handed culture or work environment Jeff bozos has created. If you will he has created a chimera. This tradition coupled with a heavy-handed, enigmatic culture of mistreating employees is a recipe for disaster.

This guy Jeff Bezos is a real ass**le don’t believe anything good he says, or don’t be foul by his credo Amazon is earth friendliest and holistic crap- he steals moneys from buyers and sellers to pump up Amazon quarterly earnings – Avoid buying any on Amazon near  the end of each quarter - Dogs

This guy is one really sick man. Selling, promoting and profiting from books on how to molest children. What sort of sick person sells books for children then sell books on how to molest them. I love free speach but you don't have to profit out of books about molesting children. This guy has no morals or ethics, he's only about making money anyway he can. Don't let this guy near your children as I wouldn't trust him.

@SpaceWalkTraveller You're such an idiot. I'm wasting my time even typing this comment.

@dragster178 SpaceWalkTraveller is right....I look up the controversey about the so-called pedophile guide book written by Phillip R. Greaves....you can see this WSJ article about it at: blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/11/1­1/pedophilia-book-removed-from­-amazon-but-others-remain. I cannot believe Bezos said it was "free speech" for someone to publish a book about pedophilia!! Any book promoting illegal activities should never be sold at Amazon or anywhere for that matter!

[chlore2004]

he is a pedophile

[SpaceWalkTraveller]

@chlore2004 Yeah I agree who would sell books on how to molest children????

Innovation alright - Amazon has taken to Stealing free copyrighted ebooks and selling them against the wishes of the author.

"Earths Forbidden Secrets" written and distributed free by Max Igan of theCrowhouse . com - Stolen by Amazon and for sale without permission.

That's innovation

[Leobons]

Someone said the word "inspiring" on TED's comments... how odd

[SounzNice]

too much stuttering

[logicpsp]

amazing

I wish they would bring back this intro.

It's serious one of the coolest intros I've seen.

[spacecowboynj]

Bezos is always great to hear. He has that wonderful combination of brilliance and perspective that typically results in an individual who is forward-thinking, yet with feet planted firmly in the ground.

Great lecture.

[ihateuutube]

LOL at the hydrogen car ad at the end. How stupid we were back then.

[stefas2]

the theory of evolution..

[xerroe]

He's an absolute inspiration

[camdaddy09]

how is this inspirational?

[Axenmoon]

clearly you don't know much about science, and you stumbled upon this video. we have come a long way but there is more to come other than a better cell phone.

[gzies1]

is a presentation like this the reason they call him a visionary?

[JoeBoyJoe28]

Amazing billionaire Jeff gave a great speech like others like Micheal Dell, Steve Jobs, etc.

[shrunked]

great stuff

[bramcorleone]

We are indeed very early.. I, for one, want to make a difference!
