This week in Technology Insider

Welcome to the Tech Insider. This week, Meghan Walsh looks at EBay’s and Amazon.com’s efforts to offer same-day delivery. The two companies’ approaches differ dramatically. For one, Amazon fulfills its orders from its own distribution warehouses, whereas EBay aggregates retailers, providing customers with a single interface to access them. We also have stories on Ubiquiti Networks, Intel, and Klout. Enjoy!
