Inspiring. Thought-provoking. Invigorating. Life-changing. These are just a few of the words we've heard used to describe the Aspen Ideas Festival, the action-packed, weeklong exploration of some of the most important ideas and pressing issues we face presented by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic magazine. So begins the overview for the Aspen Ideas Festival, a yearly event devoted to the promotion of ideas -- new or old -- related to "some of the most important ideas and pressing issues we face" as a society. Ideas related to some of the most important ideas and pressing issues? You would think that such a bill would garner some serious attention. And given the lineup of speakers, certainly respect from someone representing the good people of Colorado's 1st Congressional District, right?

Enter Amazon Web Services and the introduction of EC2 Reserved Instances.

In a seemingly bold move by Amazon, on Wednesday support for the Kindle e-book format will become available to iPhone owners via a freely downloadable application. But this shouldn't really come as any shock: Amazon is simply doing what they've always done: Looked to the bigger picture as their guiding light.

whurley has a /brilliant/ idea: Bring the power and capabilities of cloud computing to the higher education masses by creating a national computing cloud. But will leveling the high tech education playing field with a national computing cloud bring about a high tech revolution by giving access to anyone who makes the effort to gain a college education what at present time is reserved for the privileged few? Or is it just one more bill we tax payers would get stuck with without any real chance of it adding more to both our economy and our society than what it will cost to create and maintain?
