Amazon, mind-reader
: Among all the stories about automated recommendation services — at TiVo or Amazon — making odd choices for you, here is my favorite: A blog by the Arab Street Bum — no friend of Israel, he — gets recommendations from Amazon for “The Case For Israel,” “The New Anti-Semitism,” “Sleeping with the Devil” (on Saudi Arabia), and “The Crisis of Islam.”

Oh, how I love computerized irony.
