Microsoft, Oracle and Google Compete with Amazon Web Services for Cloud Computing Services
Four of the largest tech companies, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Amazon continue to expand their cloud computing services and products. The competition is so intense, Google has a calculator on their cloud service website to compare prices with Amazon Web Services. It is smart business, as well as giving AWS an indirect plug. I suggest a company develop a website, like Orbitz for cloud computing, that displays the different companies, services, products, and prices in an organizable fashion. The website RightScale, is currently doing something similar to this idea. RightScale has a breakdown of their top four companies including: AWS,

Three Possible Upsets that Could Shake Up March Madness 2017
The NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament is going to get started this month with the men going head-to-head first. Teams from across the country will represent their schools in hopes of taking home a win in the final round of competition. For the past three decades, a large percentage of sports fans participate in a bracket style competition to pick winners for each game. Gambling is a serious issue, and should be treated. I am not suggesting that one needs to place a bet behind their bracket to enjoy the tournament. These suggestions are only suggestions. I used
