Amazon continues on the path of opening up all of its services for customers and partners to use. One of the services customers repeatedly asked us for was to open up our fulfillment network for them to use. Currently there are over 1 million small and large active sellers on the Amazon platform and most need to do their own fulfillment and shipping.

Every year the MIT Technology Review publishes a list of technologists and scientist under the age of 35 to honor their ground breaking inventions and research. In the past I have written a number of recommendations in support of these innovators and last year I was particularly happy to see George Candea recognized for his work on recovery oriented computing in general and for micro-reboots in particular.

One of the coolest features in Unbox, Amazon’s Video Download Service, is the remote delivery. A video you have bought will show up in Your Media Library and from there you can control which PC the movie should be downloaded to. I just bought a Margaret Cho show while at work and asked it to be downloaded to a laptop at home.
