Amazon preps major update for Kindle Fire UI
Amazon's Silk looks creepily Phorm-ulaic

Silk via EC2 seems to be optional...
and by optional, I mean opt-out.
From their T&C (section 1, 4th paragraph)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=200775270
"You can also choose to operate Amazon Silk in basic or “off-cloud” mode. Off-cloud mode allows web pages generally to go directly to your computer rather than pass through our servers. As such, it does not take advantage of Amazon’s cloud computing services to speed-up web content delivery."

Death by 30% cut: Apple app tax must change
Saturday 19th February 2011 21:56 GMT 
my 2cents...
tbh I have no issue with Apple charging 30% - it is their store after all.
The problem I have is their insistence that App Store prices must be the same or better then those offered elsewhere. If it weren't for that (and I hope they get a kicking for that clause) then would there be this much of a fuss being made???
