Last night, I saw a few posts from people wondering why Amazon had started removing the sales ranking information for a specific category of books. Today we learn that there was nothing malicious going on; rather, it was your run of the mill error that managed to surface in a fairly embarrassing fashion. TechFlash has the rundown - it seems that Amazon managed to screw up their catalogue pretty thoroughly :)
