Breaking through Physical Boundaries

All Things Distributed

The emotions about reading books in digital form and the Amazon Kindle are running high, already before the device was released. For me there are two features that sold me on the device: the networked content push and the content interaction.

Tim Kadlec

The Agile Manager

Bernoulli’s Theorem holds that the potential power that can be produced by a turbine or rotor is equal to the cube of the velocity with which the turbine rotates, expressed simply as Power = Velocity 3.

I am about to go on stage at Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin where we will announce the ability for Amazon S3 customers to store their objects in Amazon’s European storage cloud. This has been a frequently requested feature by our European customers for various reasons, better latency control being the most important one.
