• Jeff Bezos talks about Amazon web services to Technology Review This territory—large corporations turning the massive services that they've had to develop as core competancies into commoditised services—seems to me to be one of the major tenets of the web to come. Watch this stuff.
• Michael J. Fox campaigns on behalf of stem cell research in the US It's fascinating how much interest this appears to have caused. Personally, given the heat around the debate in the US at the moment, I'm sort of impressed by his courage.
