I'll be uninstalling this right away, however, I don't have a problem with them including it for people that do want this and hope they can make a little bit of money on this to continue the development and progression of Ubuntu as a whole.

Ubuntu is great. Great innovations. I am totally with Ubuntu and Mark Shuttleworth.
At first lots of people ranted about Unity. Now people love it. They had to swallow their own words. Most people have hard heads for innovations. Mark knows exactly where he wants to go and also knows what he is doing.
Well done, keep on going Ubuntu

Definitely needs a toggle switch of some sorts. I don't want a hundred results for my search for something on my system buried among Amazon results. It sounds like a solution looking for a problem. All of a sudden certain icons get bigger, pop-ups suddenly appear in the dash, pretty soon Ubuntu will be advertising funded and another perfectly good operating system will be brought down by commercialism.
My concern with this, is that everything I type in the dash is sent over the internet. Whether it is going to Amazon, or to Mark, it doesn't matter. What if I am looking for "my_secret_file" on my system. Why is that being sent over the internet? One of my children's name is Desire' pronounced as Desiree but spelled desire. Typing that in the dash to find a file of hers comes up with some suggestions from Amazon that are not family friendly. Not good. The shopping suggestions really really needs to be in its own lens.

Lets see how useful this will be to people outside the US. I would be amazed to see that this lens works somewhat location aware and is not limited 10% of all people using Ubuntu.
That's why it'll probably be pretty useless and thus'll get uninstalled pretty fast.
Haters will always hate. Searches using Firefox default home page already generates revenue to Canonical and no one rages about it. Why be raged with Amazon results?
Finding useful books and contents with Dash is something *awesome*, not boring or cluttering. And always we have other distros to use if disagree with Ubuntu.

I've said it before and I'll say it over and over. Lenses & scopes in the unity dash is the most innovative tool on the desktop today. Their power is only now being realised but i knew from the start it's power was amazing. Google now is pretty cool, siri is a big fat MEH, but Canonical is showing them all how it should be done. Keep it up, I absolutely LOVE it.
