Intel, Rackspace, OpenStack, and a Cloud for All
I didn’t really get it, back in January 2014, when Intel, Amazon and others made a big noise about slapping the equivalent of an ‘Intel Inside’ sticker on your favourite cloud.

CrunchPad, Netbooks and Vacuum Cleaners
We covered the CrunchPad a fair bit here, so it’s only natural to report it’s inching closer to Launch. Or is it rather slipping? The Straits Times visited Fusion Garage, the Singapore-based company that’s developing the CrunchPad, and published details.
