Rackspace takes open source approach with release of Cloud Servers API

,----[ Quote ]
| Taking an open-source approach, Rackspace’s 43,000 cloud-computing customers 
| played a major role in the API specifications, explained Emil Sayegh general 
| manager for The Rackspace Cloud, formerly branded as Mosso cloud hosting. 
| They overwhelmingly preferred the newer lighter-weight REST approach to the 
| older heavy-duty SOAP standard that Amazon uses, he said.

Amazon Shows Need for Open eBook Standards 

,----[ Quote ]
| Last week Amazon did something despicable. They violated the privacy of every 
| Kindle user when without warning they remotely deleted copies of George 
| Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm from Kindle Readers. It seems that Amazon had 
| determined these books had been purchased "illegally." (The irony of choosing 
| these particular books goes without saying.)
