Rob Malda Casts a Jaded Eye at Amazon's Silk

Posted by timothy on from the healthy-skepticism dept.

m.ducharme writes "Slashdot's recently departed editor and Fearless Leader muses about the security implications of Amazon's Silk, which uses Amazon's massive cloud computing services to provide 'pre-caching' for the new Fire devices." Another potential downside to bear in mind (depending on exactly how much Silk relies on the AWS infrastructure) is that it provides a single point of failure, and sometimes cloud services go down.

    Take a while off from the site (been busy at work for the last month or so) and Malda retires ?@?!?!?

    The '@' sign there really emotes. I can feel your rage and frustration.
