Amazon S3 outage roils worldwide Web!

After yesterday’s seven-plus-hour outage of both the US and UK servers, users of Amazon S3 are waking up with some difficult questions to answer. While Amazon itself doesn't suffer 'outages' the S3 service has been down twice for significant periods of time in the past six months. Users have counted on Amazon's reputation, a 99.999 SLA, and engineered-in redundancy in ...

Why Craigslist beats out eBay

Tomato

Local wins as 'green goes from trendy to essential'. So, what do tomatoes and used iPods have in common? A lot, as it turns out. My eco-friendly pals have been talking about the slow-food movement for a few years. I confess, I didn't understand back then. They were talking about local growers, and farmers' markets. I found it all pretty appealing. But truth be told, I found it more quaint than a significant change in how we live. I was ...

Multimedia... Will Blogs rule?

House

In the future - content will be king. Strike that! Content will become a commodity. I know that sounds really bad, but stay with me for a sec. It's happening already. There are hundreds of thousands of videos. Thousands of indie films. Zillions of recordings of unknown bands. Content is being made by professionals, amateurs, hobbyists, pro-sumers, citizen journalists, unpaid film students, self-proclaimed experts, and - don't forget - really talented individuals. The point is, you can't tell what's what, ...

Marc Andreesen knew that this latest round of capital would raise some eyebrows so he wasn't about to toot his own horn and make an announcement. But when VentureBeat discovered the financing - the news was out. $60 million on a $500 million pre-valuation is pretty heady stuff. Predictably, the headlines were either skeptical or worse. But here's a case where the pundits got it wrong. Andreesen has seen the future - and he's right to build it. Here's a ...

Since the beginning of time - the relationship between the Silicon Valley and Hollywood has been, well, err ... complicated. The New York Times takes another swing at this today, and determines its about comparing the size of executive airplanes. The Hollywood G4 clearly loses out to Sergey and Larry's Boeing 767 Jet. But comparing jet sizes not withstanding - the real complexity of the two worlds isn't about stock options or pay-grades. Hollywood is fueled by scarcity. Silicon Valley ...

Spending the day in Boston, you'd think the Red Socks have the same record as the Yankees. I can say this because I'm safely back in NY. But for those of us who trekked to Beantown, or are based there, Tuesday was all Red Socks all the time. Opening Day! Meanwhile, at the Four Seasons, Tony Perkins Venture Summit East was in full swing. Lots of VC's Lots of entrepreneurs - and the halls were alive with the talk of ...
