Google's Close To Beating Amazon, Microsoft For a Major Cloud Client: Sources (cnbc.com)

An anonymous reader shares a CNBC report: Google's aggressive push into cloud computing, where it trails Amazon.com and Microsoft, has put the internet giant in the lead position to land a marquee client: PayPal. While Google is the front-runner, according to people familiar with the matter, PayPal is evaluating the other leading providers and hasn't made any final decisions. PayPal is unlikely to move its technology infrastructure in the fourth quarter, the peak period for online commerce, said the sources, who asked not to be named because the talks are confidential. Under the leadership of VMware co-founder Diane Greene, Google is out to prove that it's a legitimate player in the rapidly expanding cloud infrastructure market.

Said the tight-pantsed brogrammer, before speeding off on his fixie and getting run over by a Google bus.
Bitches keep running their mouths and yet Linux has gone nowhere on the desktop. Microsoft still lords over all others in marketshare. Apple's garden continues to build higher walls. Comcast continues to enslave municipality after municipality.
A bunch of nerds whining about Paypal does not, and should not, make Paypal tremble in any sort of fear, to be sure.
