Microsoft just adding data center capacity in Ireland. Amazon is serving up cloud capacity in Europe. Google’s thirst for data centers is somewhat legendary. And now Red Hat is offering Red Hat Linux via Amazon’s EC2 platform.

The tech blogosphere rarely talks up infrastructure and other non-sexy technology, so all the attention to Amazon’s Dynamo is good to see. I am going to use the headline from Techcrunch to ruminate over what a WebOS means to me, if anything at all.
