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,

The United Nations have released a virtual reality project following the massive earthquake that rocked Nepal in April 2015. *Update When this review was first posted, I had technical difficulties with the application. In less than a week the developers fixed the application, and it runs properly now.  During my first run I utilized the audio playback. I used my imagination to paint a virtual reality picture in my mind. Overall, I didn't get sick from the motion of modern VR, and was able to still get into the rebuilding efforts in Nepal.
