Amazon Cloud Drive Starting at $20/year

Friday, July 8th, 2011

Today, Amazon is announced a few nifty enhancements to its cloud-based music locker, including storage plans that offer unlimited space for music, free storage for MP3 purchases, and Cloud Player has finally come to the iPad. If you remember that Amazon before Apple, or Google or any other large cloud server player was the first to get into the cloud music space.

The Cloud Drive and Cloud Player will cost, at the very least, $20 a year, which should be a very reasonable price for unlimited cloud music storage space. This offer is available starting at the lowest price grade, $20/year, which includes 20 GB of file storage and unlimited space for MP3s and AAC music files only.  No other files will be allowed on the server for the $20/year cost.

For the iPad, Amazon says that the Cloud Player for the Web has been “optimized to offer customers streaming playback of their Cloud Drive music using Safari”. Those interested in checking it out, can go here to learn more.

CEA says the full line-up of 2012 International CES keynote addresses will be announced in coming months.  Ballmer will be speaking at 6:30 PM on Monday January 9, 2011.  Hope to be able to see you all there.  We will be attending if any of you are wanting to meet up and discuss cloud hosting or just grab a drink!

Apple Cloud Server Hackers

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Anonymous, the hacker group which is some of the best hacks out there like PayPal, MasterCard and Visa, in support of whistleblower website Wikileaks has now broken into an Apple cloud server. The group confessed that it had hacked into an Apple server used for technical online surveys on twitter. It tweeted: “Apple cloud be a target, too. But don’t worry we are busy elsewhere”.

Apple is considered by the majority of people out there the holy-grail of hacking as it has one of the most robust systems in the world. The timing of the attack is also significant as Apple recently announced the arrival of its cloud storage facility, the iCloud. The cloud locker facility allows users to store music, apps, documents and calendar on the cloud. The success of the offering depends on user’s willingness to move their data to Apple servers. The current hack can raise questions about the security of iCloud.

It’s crazy that so many hackers would be able to unite and hack into a cloud server infrastructure like Apple.  What are you thoughts on this?
