Amazon CloudFront: Outlook for CDN Is Cloudy (and That's Good) (25)

Two months ago, Amazon - which has taken to sharing some of its massive computing power with mere mortals as a means of developing additional revenue streams - announced that they were developing a content-delivery network (CDN) to complement their existing Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) offering. Today, they unveiled the beta version of that service, named Amazon CloudFront. Boasting a now-familiar, pay-as-you-go pricing model, Amazon CloudFront promises to make CDN an affordable addition for ...Shared by AJ Batac (4) Andrew (0) CharlieWhiskey (0) cheewu (0) Dan Delphin (0) Daniel (0) Eric (0) Gary (2) Jeremy (0) kcearns (0) Marshall Sponder (0) Michael (8) Mike Levin (107) mvexel (0) Nicolas Perriault (0) Oncle Tom (2) Peat (0) pereticnr1 (2) Peter v (0) Roberto Castro (0) RomanZolotarev (0) Roy (0) Seb (0) spidaman (0) sushi (7)Contribute comment -

Non-Profit Org Claims Rights In Library Catalog Data (6)

Slashdot (96) permalink
lamona writes "The main source of the bibliographic records that are carried in library databases is a non-profit organization called OCLC. Over the weekend OCLC "leaked" its new policy that claims contractual rights in the subsequent uses of the data, uses such as downloading book information into Zotero or other bibliographic software. The policy explicitly forbids any use that would compete with OCLC. This would essentially rule out the creation of free and open databases ...- esther said: wth is oclc thinking?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen demonstrations in support of Proposition 8 in and around my neighborhood in Oakland, California. If you don’t know by now, Proposition 8 would eliminate the right of same-sex couples to legally marry. Proposition 8 proponents have refused to comment on whether they would actively seek to invalidate the marriages of those couples who have been united since same-sex marriage was legalized in California. Let me be perfectly clear. ...Shared by David (0) Dean Millam (0) Dillon K.
