Generally for restful services like S3 people use community provided language libraries or write their own. The rest API is designed to provided flexibility and security. The way it is implemented in each language will be up to whoever writes the library.
Just because google shows a phython library does not mean it is the only python library, the best python library or even one they expect anyone to use...
I do not believe they would be directly compatible but concepts would be similar and I am sure you could readily develop a library that would work well with both.
The signing methods appear to be different. But I think if you learn one , you could easily adapt to the other. Neither API is particularly complicated to program to if you understand how to send a REST request.
The S3 API for developers is complicated. Using S3 for consumers is easy (Jungledisk, etc...).
Neither the S3 or the Google Storage API are needlessly complicated. The APIs are meant to be both flexible and secure. Doing both of those things together is complicated.
It does matter because they did not make them to make money. The person speaking is in business to make money. If Valve makes a Linux port (and it appears they are), they will be the first commercial game seller on Linux. All the freaks on here insulting him because he made a factual statement should be thanking him and Apple. I doubt you would see the Linux ports if OSX id not use opengl...
I love your cute little list of antiquated games that proves my point. Throwing in VMware Workstation (Free) and Nero (If you paid for it, your a sucker) was very cute too! So you bought the Windows version in the store? You seem to be getting upset, probably because you know you are really reaching.
I have nothing at all against Linux. I am simply a realist. I have continuously used Linux since I first installed SLS in 1992. I have deployed thousands of Linux servers and have tried every single distribution that people thought could be a real desktop alternative. It is still not there, maybe one day...
Really so what commercial software is currently sold for Linux (you know for money) that is targeted at the consumer market. The quoute is from a guy that sells games for a living. I apparently understand a lot more about Linux than you do.
I happen to be sitting in the living room. Within 360 degrees of me is nothing I do not need.
TV, Uverse Box, Wii, My laptop, a fan, two,lamps, my bike helmet and the furniture.
Perhaps I don't need any of it. I want all of it. Not because I am a consumer sheep. I want it because I enjoy watching TV,playing games, and riding my bike. Kind of like you enjoy being a pretentious asshole that is full of shit:)
Ok it deserves a follow up. His statistic was not based on a sample, it was a population statistic....
What segment are you looking at? As far as we can tell, the average rate among Foxconn workers is lower than the Average rate among Chinese people.
Chinese people working at Foxconn are less likely than Chinese people not working at Foxconn to commit suicide (at least one that is reported as such). No samples needed. No sampling bias present. To statements based on factual population statistics.
Not really...FoxConn employs 450k people.. According to a 2007 report, China has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and experiences around 287,000 suicides a year..(http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-09/11/content_6095710.htm)
The only causality we can easily demonstrate, is the cause for these stories. They are designed soley to give bad press to Apple.
Really, where did you buy it? How much did it cost.. Choosing to do a free release of an old game on alternate platform as an experiment is not quite the same thing...It would be like if Steam had only ported portal to OSX and gave it away. Actually know, it does not even quite reach that level.
OSX is the most open operating system Steam currently delivers software for. OSX is the most open of the operating systems with a measurable desktop market share. OSX is the most open platform that runs Microsoft Windows. I could make up about 100 other items. The most important item however is this:
OSX is the most open platform any commercial software companies are writing consumer applications for.

I love you man!
Others have pointed out that google claims it is in fact compatible with existing S3 libraries, I am still on the waiting list so I can not verify it.
I do not believe they would be directly compatible but concepts would be similar and I am sure you could readily develop a library that would work well with both.

You are right , Server is free. I was wrong on that one. I will give you Workstation. :)

Except you are a liar and I am not.
Feel free to link a page similar to this: http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1063/ for any OS that meets the criteria I mentioned.
I suspect we will not hear from you again :)

Seriously? Go back to bed.
Commercial Games. You see the focus of the article is a guy who makes money selling games..(Selling , like people pay money for them!)
Workstation is free and the rest is pretty old. Which of those is a commercial product you paid money for again?
Please link a similar page to this for the components in Windows 7: http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1063/

None of the articles link any of the workers directly to the iPhone. Only the sensationalistic summary and ridiculous headline do.

If you have a hard time making OSX work right, than your prior Unix knowledge is not quite what you thought it was...
Those ports took almost no investment...

I am fairly certain I can come up with the source for a lot more of OSX than you could for Windows 7...
While the iPhone may run a derivative of OSX it is not a MAC....
