Der Großausfall in der Amazon-Wolke sei nur die Spitze des Eisbergs an Problemen, die Cloud-Computing mit sich bringt, sagte Internetpionier Dave Farber zu ORF.at. Am Montag gab erneut ein Cloud-Anbieter das Geschäftsfeld auf.
The announcement this week that Google released a beta version of a robust cloud computing platform called Google App Engine that lets anyone build apps on Googles renowned and highly scalable infrastructure underscored a key trend in the software industry today. Namely that software platforms are moving from their traditional centricity around individually owned and managed computing resources and up into the cloud of the Internet. Googles entry into a space that has been largely dominated so far by Amazon and its Elastic Compute Cloud as well as a few smaller players like Bungee and Heroku has turned the Internet cloud computing space into a fully-fledged industry virtually overnight. What makes these offerings so interesting is their promise to turn enormous amounts of operational competency and accumulated economies of scale (which are enormous in Amazons and Googles cases) into a highly competitive new software platform, akin to Windows or Linux, except entirely hosted off-premises and on the Internet.
++++ Ein Projekt des sozialen Musikradios Last.fm: For my project I wanted to explore Last.fm’s data to learn how listening preferences vary with the listener’s age and gender. Apart from the science, the most important thing I found is that you can make awesome plots with this information Apparently females like using band names as tags (Super junior, McFly), while males prefer finding lots of ways to say the same thing (metal, jazz). Most importantly we have just used science to prove that men don’t listen to much k-pop.

Efficient fleet utilization is one of the key factors in an airline’s success and profitability. In this section, the Airline Data Project (ADP) demonstrates how mainline carriers have improved the use of their fleets and how the hub-and-spoke carriers achieve lower fleet utilization than their low-cost counterparts. While network architecture explains some of the differences, the age of a carrier’s fleet also is a significant factor.
