Five cloud-based businesses that you should know. Amazon Web Services (AWS) uses it. Elastichosts uses it. Google uses it. Yahoo uses it. Engine Yard uses it. Facebook uses it. "It" is Linux, of course. But what else do all these companies have in common? If you said "cloud technology," you're correct.

Yahoo is a cloud company? So is Facebook? Sure, if you mean storing data online for remote access then any internet company is cloud computing. Thank you, Ken Hess, for this revelation. Running out of drivel to write?

Oh, and since when do any of these companies have 100% access like you claim, Mr. Hess? You've never seen gmail have an outage? Yahoo? I sure have.

Yeah, a cloud run on Linux is free. The only question is if the cloud companies will make free with your precious data.

Why do I even bother reading Hess anymore? I must have a masochistic streak.
Or, it helps you to appreciate sanity and intelligence better.
