Hah, Amazon has come through for me before :) for those “last minute” procrastinations, err, “careful buying”. That’s the ticket ;)

Good luck in the rest of the season, and what-not.

drive height and safety

We note that this free-fall-sensor drive should be “protected” from any fall of over 7.72 inches. (rated as “auto-parked” in under 200 milliseconds)

Now, what about my notebook computer? :)

the cloud

Posted by John on 15th August 2009

Nope, not talking about

cloud or rainbow? whats your outlook?

cloud or rainbow? what's your outlook?

but rather cloud computing.  While there are other options for hosted cloud space such as Rackspace, I think most would agree that Amazon’s S3 is the 800 pound [sterling] guerrilla here.

Parascale also looks pretty interesting, for use if you actually have your own IT infrastructure.

I do find it interesting that even DreamHost actually supports average customers linking into Amazon S3.
