List of Website address

Is it really necessary to list "z.cn" under china? I don't really see the point considering we don't list "amazone.com" under France or "amzon.com" under USA. Lol lee lol (talk) 13:38, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, z.cn should not be there. I removed it. --Frmorrison (talk) 14:31, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is meant by "deliveries on (or directly into) the trunks of Audi cars"?

....... What is meant by "deliveries on the trunk of Audi cars"? as stated in this article, with the words "...In April 2015, Amazon started a partnership with Audi and DHL in order to get deliveries on the trunk of Audi cars..." which was later revised to read "...in order to get deliveries DIRECTLY INTO the trunks of Audi cars..." ........ Could someone elaborate on that unusual wording? Possibly, is it meant that Amazon plans to transmit information content to wireless receivers installed in Audi brand automobiles? ........ Alternatively, will DHL trucks have the capability to wirelessly track and find a customer's Audi brand automobile, open the trunk, and deposit a shipment? ...while that Audi automobile is parked, of course! (Cargo transfers while driving down the road would probably not be worth the additional design complications. LOL!) ...... In any case, a very interesting innovation! When I purchased one of first iPads to ship with a cellular data line and GPS transceiver, my iPad shipped too late for a cross country trip. I needed that iPad, with its GPS map navigation apps. At extra expense, I had to arrange for UPS to forward the package to a UPS store, in a city further down the route of my trip. Would have been much easier to have UPS automatically track my car, and intercept me, on my road trip. Interesting idea! {signed with 4 tildes} 68.35.173.107 (talk) 21:24, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
