No, I'm not a Christmas shopping fan, though most probably I miss some good deals as I write... But Amazon is not only a book store, it's a large cloud computing resource provider with its EC2 initiative.
But, I assume this is not new to many of the readers.
The newly interesting offerings Amazon has are the big deal (IMHO).
The Turk thing, which allows recruiting human workforce for computer-based missions that can be distributed over the net.
Maybe even more interesting, one can find the ability to bid for cloud resources in Spot Instances offering.
I find this offering innovative and different from other cloud offerings as it is the first to allow discrete and manageable resources to be consumed virtually. I would expect such an initiative to become part of an enterprise cloud as well.
