Many thanks to Steve for sending the story to me. The situation raises such international concerns that I felt I had to share it with you all:

AP release:

A public school teacher was arrested today at  John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, President Bush said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. The unidentified man has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

“Al-gebra is a problem for us, ” Bush said. “They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, “There are 3 sides to every triangle”.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.”

Amazon recently launched a Beta version of looking very promising Business Solutions services. Amongst them the Amazon Fulfillment group…And guess what…All faithful blog readers remember my “Entrepreneurial Brainstorming session N.5“: I don’t feel like selling plenty of dusty books, just because I become lazy at the very idea of queuing twice a week at the post office. I needed Amazon or a new venture to same me the first mile just like Ikea saves itself the last mile, concretely the delivery and assembling, to offer cheaper rates.

Well, it seems, as Kari put it in this comment and I thank him for that, that I was a week early. Amazon just released a portfolio of business services aiming at easing warehouse and shipping operations of corporate accounts.

Frankly, I was proud of myself on this one. What I’ll probably do very soon is use that Amazon’s Business Solutions Fulfillment service through a venture I would’ve created for this specific purpose. More on this topic in a near future.

Homework – in the comments section, think for a sec and quickly share with us:

1) what you think of Amazon’s Fulfillment Services Group;

2) whether you’d like to brainstorm more and more on entrepreneurial ideas I would provide on “Tech IT Easy”.
