Here are two different E-Book stores you have probably never heard of, but there are allot of positive factors about them. Books on Board One of the highest rated e-book stores on the internet.

Considering the momentum and high-profile reputations attributed to eBook devices such as the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader and Barnes & Noble Nook, you’d be forgiven for envisioning only obscurity for the oddly named Spring Alex electronic book reader. However, emerging from CES 2010 with the honour of being crowned Best eReader by Laptop Magazine, the twin-screened Alex is perhaps worthy of a second look and a closer inspection.

What you’ve perhaps never considered is how useful a personal wiki can be for everyday life. A wiki can act exactly like a to-do list, but with the ability to branch off any complex task to its own page. A wiki can also contain your contact list, detailed information about ongoing projects and any other piece of information you can think of – and do so in an organized manner. The Zim wiki is an open-source program available for Linux and Windows, and it’s a great way to build a simple desktop wiki. Best of all, it’s named after the single greatest cartoon character in history.

My First Mashup
So WSO2's Mashup Server has finally been released . As I've blogged before, this is a very exciting product for a number of reasons. My first mashup is now public at mooshup.com , the hosted online version of WSO2 Mashup Server, where anyone can get an account and start kicking the tyres of this revolutionary technology. The mashup is really simple, but it illustrates some of the power of the platform. I have two independent "services", a Grocery List service and a Grocery Prices service (Click the "Try it" link on each) . The idea is that I create my grocery list independently knowing only what products I need and the quantities of each that I need.Cloud.com software stack goes open source | Software, Interrupte
Cloud.com --which until now was known as VMops--is launching on Tuesday the latest salvo in the battle for cloud computing adoption and mindshare as it releases a new product and changes its name. In addition to rebranding the company as Cloud.com, the company is releasing the latest version of its CloudStack software under both open-source and commercial licenses.

Cloud.com describes CloudStack as "an integrated software solution that enables enterprises and service providers to quickly and easily build Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) clouds." Basically, this means that data center service providers and enterprises alike can now deploy new types of services based on cloud principles and offer them to their customers and end users.
