    um no ubuntu here?.. move along

    Eucalyptus is being used. Ubuntu is not. At least the article doesn't assert the "Linux" used is actually Ubuntu. Just because Eucalyptus works on Ubuntu doesn't make them "Ubuntu's Koala food".

    "In his new position, Kemp will develop Nebula and "a small portfolio of what we'll call disruptive innovation projects.""

    Are they revolutionary rogue/renaissant renegade/private pirate type projects, akin to Applied Virtualised Terrorism in Black Hatted PsyOps by Cyber Command and/or Counter Insurgency Security Units?

    And is "will develop" a cloaking euphemism for purchase from the specialised market place, tried and tested foreign and alien* systems and sophisticated components and/or vital rare elements?

    * alien .... “Alien” means an individual who is not a citizen of the United States. ..... http://www.defense.gov/news/d2010manual.pdf

    "I made a good solid case that if we tried to build an organization based on innovation in Washington, D.C., it wouldn't last long, or it would last forever and not fulfill its purpose," ...... If you want to read of Washington, D.C.'s purpose, you may not like what you read here, for it would appear to tell more of the truth, or a fantastic fiction**, than is usually told, for obvious reasons of security ...... http://thedailybell.com/1002/Jack-Speer-Williams-Is-Obama-A-Congenital-Liar-Sadistic-Torturer.html ....... and keeping the scams and sham democracy going?

    ** For some that can handle IT, and are au fait with quantum bits and bytes, are both one and the same and deliverable as yet other facts in fiction for your continued edutainment and heavenly delight.

    NASA already use cloud computing

    the BeAMartian.jpl.nasa.com site (and the Pathfinder Innovation Challenge) already run on Microsoft's Azure ... but that's just working quietly away without any fuss helping educate kids and encourage the next generation of scientists....

    what's actually running in Nebula or is this just the Federales pissing money away so they can justify having cool job titles?
