Microsoft Shows Off Windows 8.1 Update 1
I got the updates (as far as I know) off of that New Zealand file share about 2 weeks ago. Everything seems to be working fine where I’ve done the upgrade. It does make Win8.1 more palatable. I think now MS should just keep refining it ever quarter or so. One of these versions will…

Cargo-culting [managers are awesome / managers are cool when they’re part of your team] (tecznotes|Mike Migurski)
This is incidentally what’s so fascinating about the government technology position I’m in at Code for America. I believe that we’re in the midst of a shift in power from abusive tech vendor relationships to something driven by a city’s own digital capabilities. The amazing thing about GOV.UK is that a government has decided it…

In Response To Google, Amazon Announces Massive Price Cuts For S3, EC2, ElastiCache, Elastic MapReduce And RDS
The game is on, and I would hope the big players hosting their big web apps (Box.com, Spotify, etc.) will benefit as much as the small guys. I doubt however it’s all that easy to host/de-host once you marry yourself to a particular cloud hosting provider. But this price competition can only be a good…
