Microsoft’s Internet Explorer dropped to a historic market share low in April, according to Net Applications.

This was clearly a signal that m1.small was not performing well at that load for our application. We decided to switch to c1.mediums.

Autoscaling stopped kicking in. We can see the cpu going from 10% to 50% smoothly from non peak to peak hours. This is what we wanted!
Who, in his right mind, expects Steve Jobs to let Adobe (and other) cross-platform application development tools control his (I mean the iPhone OS) future? Cross-platform tools dangle the old “write once, run everywhere” promise. But, by being cross-platform, they don’t use, they erase “uncommon” features.

Apple is right to keep control of its platform’s future.
Essentially, when you want to print you'll be sending your request over to a Googlestation up in the clouds, which in turn will translate those instructions and forward them along to the nearest paper tarnisher. We say nearest, presuming that's what you'd want, but the big deal here is that you'll be able to use any device to print on any printer anywhere in the internet-connected world.
