The new app also works on 3G and 4G networks so you can use it even when you're outside of Wi-fi hotspots. When you download the NEW Vonage Mobile app, you can make FREE high-definition calls and send FREE texts worldwide to friends who have the app¹. High-definition audio provides dramatically better voice quality than traditional cell phone calls.

The new Vonage Mobile app will save you money, even if you make international calls to anyone who has not yet downloaded the app - get ultra low-cost international calling with per minutes rates that are on average 70% less than major mobile carriers and 30% less than Skype™ ².

And to celebrate the launch of our new app, we have an exciting introductory offer. When you download Vonage Mobile, calls to any phone in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico from anywhere in the world will be free for a limited time (not to exceed 3000 minutes per month).³

In order to receive a prompt refund of any remaining balance, you must immediately cancel your existing Vonage Mobile service. Please follow the directions below and then delete the app from your phone. Please note that deleting the Vonage Mobile app alone will not cancel your service or refund your account. If you choose not to cancel now, you will receive a refund of any remaining balance shortly after March 31, 2012.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but are confident that you'll be very happy with the new and improved service. Click here to download the app now.

Weird coincidence that Lockerz.com celebrity picture server overload was caused by Whitney Houston's Death? 

But what about this connection of NASA's famous quote and the current tragedy?

Fw: Announcing AWS Storage Gateway

From: Amazon Web Services <no-reply-aws@amazon.com>
Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 12:44 AM
Subject: Announcing AWS Storage Gateway

Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,

We’re excited to introduce the AWS Storage Gateway, a service that provides a new option to securely upload data to the AWS cloud for scalable, reliable, cost-effective storage.
The AWS Storage Gateway connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage for seamless integration between on-premises IT environments and AWS storage. The service supports a standard iSCSI interface, enabling you to take advantage of cloud based storage without re-architecting existing applications. The AWS Storage Gateway provides low-latency performance by maintaining data in your on-premises storage hardware while asynchronously uploading data over SSL to AWS, where it is encrypted and securely stored in the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

The AWS Storage Gateway enables you to securely upload your data to the AWS cloud for cost-effective backup, storing point-in-time snapshots of your on-premises application data in Amazon S3 for future recovery. Your data in Amazon S3 is stored as Amazon EBS snapshots, which you can restore on-premises using the AWS Management Console.
The AWS Storage Gateway also makes it easy to leverage the on-demand capacity of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for additional capacity during peak periods, as a more cost-effective way to run normal enterprise workloads, or for disaster recovery purposes. You can create Amazon EBS volumes from the snapshots you’ve taken using the AWS Storage Gateway, and attach these volumes to your Amazon EC2 compute instances. Once attached, your Amazon EC2 instances will have access to this data to do any processing or computation.

Pricing for the AWS Storage Gateway is $125/month per activated gateway and comes with a 60 day free trial. Snapshot storage pricing starts at only $0.14 per gigabyte per month.
We are excited to share this announcement with you. You can learn more by visiting the AWS Storage Gateway page or joining our Feb 23 webinar.

Sincerely,

The AWS Storage Gateway Team

This release video is really great because is uses San Francisco's Philz Coffee on 24th & Folsom as a post example.
