They are only second to Amazon in customer service quality IMHO.
And I just signed up for Shoprunner.com since Newegg joined them. $79/year for 2 day shipping on most everything Newegg carries. Where's your Amazon Prime now?

"At this time the Company has determined not to proceed with the initial public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and the Company hereby confirms that no securities were sold in connection with the offering described in the Registration Statement. Therefore, withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477."
Speaking of which, how many people actually report and pay the use taxes on purchases from Amazon?...
To my knowledge, California already does this, as well as a few other states. This leads me to believe that the ongoing battle over Internet sales tax may have found a compromise at this point in flat-fee use taxes.
How does compromise address the competitive discrepancies?
This behavior was common during the dot com bubble. IPOs doubled in price, everyone was happy. It's totally unrealistic.
Anyone who buys LinkedIn is retarded. Serious people that trade the market wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Sure you can trade this crap and make fist fulls of money in the short term. The venture capitalists got paid. Do not own this stock.
To say LinkedIn got screwed is to say the dot coms got screwed in 2000. Guess what? The only people that got screwed were the share holders. LinkedIn should be jumping for joy that their peice of shit company is worth anywhere near 8 billion dollars. I just feel bad for the stupid shareholders when their shares become worthless.
It's an interesting theory anyway. I suspect as someone else has posted that it's related to the way the LinkedIn IPO went.
