Sometimes the best path to success is to learn how to avoid failure. Netflix was able to keep serving its customers while its cloud hosting provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS), rebooted servers, because it had prepared for that happening. “When we got the news about the emergency EC2 [Elastic Cloud Compute] reboots, our jaws dropped. When we got the list of how many Cassandra nodes would be affect

If you thought Netflix and iTunes would make optical discs a thing of the past, think again. Facebook has built a storage system from 10,000 Blu-ray discs that holds a petabyte of data and is highly energy-efficient, the company said Tuesday.

As far as 99.9 percent of the world population is concerned, Microsoft is a stodgy, old-guard technology company. Its bottom line is fully leveraged against PC operating systems and business software—hardly the building blocks of a future-thinking portfolio, right? But scratch that cold, conservative, pedestrian surface, and you’ll find a Microsoft that’s a veritable hotbed of cutting-edge innovat

Google said in April that 170 million users had “upgraded to Google+,” but the company has been coy when it comes to specifying how many of those people actually use the social network on a regular basis. Some ob
Microsoft is shaking things up with SkyDrive. The new features and capabilities move it out of the Microsoft-centric shadows and pit it more directly against Dropbox, and possibly the imminently rumored Google Drive.

Next year, if all goes according to plan, Red Hat will become the first open source software company to generate more than US$1 billion a year in revenue.

If you’re a fan of Ubuntu Linux, there’s a good chance you’re among the many who have been wondering in the last day or so what, precisely, a pangolin is.

I’m betting there’s been a sudden surge in Google searches on the term since the announcement was made. Keeping up w
Laptop docking stations that use Thunderbolt can be expensive, with gobs of ports—but more manufacturers are designing low-cost options to fit more budgets. A Thunderbolt docking station for laptops is now nearly a must-have accessory, providing I/O access for legacy mice, keyboards, external drives, and more.

Google disclosed some more details regarding the newly announced Android update, Ice Cream Sandwich, today.

It will take you longer to read a book on an iPad or Kindle compared to the printed page, according to a recent study.

The stu

Yes, that’s an iPhone. And yes, that’s Android. iPhone users and Android users can stop fighting–because now your iPhone can run Android (as if Steve Jobs didn’t already have enough on his plate with the iPhone prototype leak).
