When I posted this link to twitter I did intentionally mis-spell it (my tweet was "Oh, wow. The Amazon Kindel (er, Kindle) Cloud Reader is live: http://bit.ly/pBoMhS . But, When I pasted it here to share on HN, I removed the "(er,...)" and

There are rumors Amazon is bringing out a color Kindle that is more an iPad like tablet than a book reader, likely based on Android. Given the (apparently) great HTML5 work that went into building the Cloud Reader, I wonder what we'll see f

Amazon's CloudFront. I use it for both a WordPress blog (via the W3 Total Cache plug-in) and for high-definition video streaming to clients. Shockingly simple to setup and use. Cheap too.

Good stuff. I've found that there are two kinds of people in the world. Those, like me, who ENJOY making mistakes. And those that are afraid of making mistakes. If you are not falling down, you're not trying hard enough.

I don't understand your first point. My "upon my death" file provides credentials. Your second point is interesting but I think this discussion is about personal information and, at least as far as I can see, people don't DRM that.

"The Cloud" has radically changed this situation. Sure, it will always be possible to accidentally delete or corrupt something, and, yes, there are formats that will be unreadable in the future, but the fact that - ingress to the cloud AND

I read this article and cringed. After 30+ years of building software products and organizations I am 100% with Zuckerberg on this. A really great engineer or designer is far more valuable than dozens of average ones. Of course, an organiza
