    Amazon, the mother of all clouds

    Posted March 14, 2013 - 10:33 am

    Ah, Amazon -- did Jeff Bezos choose that name to symbolize the largest bookstore in the world or did he realize that he would one day create an enterprise cloud service that was as large and complex as the river basin?

    Google Nexus 7 tablet review: solid, but not revolutionary

    Posted July 7, 2012 - 7:05 am

    The Google Nexus 7 tablet resets expectations of what an inexpensive tablet can and should be. Starting at $199, the Nexus 7 clearly guns for Amazon's same-priced but lesser quality Kindle Fire, which runs Amazon's limited flavor of Android. Make no mistake: Of today's 7-inch Android tablets, the Nexus 7 is the one to beat, and it is handily one of the best-executed Android tablets of any size you can buy. In some ways, that's not saying much; for as much as it does well--it has a tremendous 10-plus hour battery life, and it produces reasonably clear text and accurate colors--the Nexus 7 stumbles by leaving out an expansion slot. You need to step up to the 16GB $249 version for the Nexus 7 to make a sensible purchase, and even then you'll be settling short of the ideal tablet you really want.

    Software is where the eReader battles will be fought and run. And while it is encouraging that Barnes and Noble and Sony have entered the race against Amazon's Kindle, both still have some room to grow if they are going to be effective competitors.
