good idea gone bad

There has been a lot of talk about problems with the Kindle once it was discovered that amazon could delete books remotly that you had paid for.

Glenn has several post about it too.

They are refering to it as a good product shooting itself in the foot.

I thing I can add to that with Firefox since my browser of choice has developed a very bad memory leak.
This seems to have something to do with applications run from facebook or myspace (yes I play those).
