"Why did Amazon lay off most of their hardware engineering staff last month?"

Most? More FUD?

The news on new Fire TV devices has been available for over a month. Yet you claim it has been discontinued. Why?

They are sold out of the old ones. I suppose they could make more but then they would be selling outdated models when a new model is about to come out, sorta like some other gadget makers do.

Then where are they? And why did Amazon lay off their engineering staff? You still haven't answered that question. . . and how is that question FUD? It was widely reported. It indicates a major re-allignment in Amazon's plans to concentrate on their core competency, retail, not developing hardware. All you've done is attack me by claiming I post FUD. . . you haven't given any concrete reasons why it isn't except rumors from applications made months ago.

Personally, I'd like to see Amazon continue with the Fire line. They had some neat ideas.
