Deutsche Borse to open Cloud Exchange, treat computing as a commodity
Bitcoin fans are familiar with using cloud computing to generate a commodity -- but what would happen if cloud computing was the commodity? The Deutsche Börse should find out when it opens its newly-unveiled Cloud Exchange in the first quarter of 2014. The independent market will let organizations buy remote computing and storage in respective 8GB and 1TB blocks, with traders agreeing on when and where the number crunching takes place. Theoretically, this creates a neutral, competitive space for exchanging server power: buyers can easily spot the best value, while sellers can efficiently offload their unused cycles. Whether or not the Cloud Exchange works that way in practice, we're just hoping that it isn't as volatile as an old-fashioned stock exchange. [Image credit: Dontworry, Wikipedia]
Gold Capped: Using blacksmithing to make gold on the auction house
Want to get Gold Capped? This column will show you how, and is written by Basil "Euripides" Berntsen, also of outdps.com, the hunting party podcast, and the call to auction podcast. Blacksmithing is a crafting profession that has made me a lot of money. Today, we'll talk about how you can use blacksmithing as something more than a couple of extra gem slots for your main, and actually make gold! Many people with crafting skills invariably have tried linking their profession in trade and saying "tips appreciated." Has that worked for you? Me either. If you want to make money with any crafting skill, the true profits are from acquiring the mats yourself, crafting, and selling your wares over the long term. As I mentioned in my previous post, the default UI won't cut it for our purposes, so let's get cracking and set you up with a proper crafting UI.
EVE player-run contest rewards 'human trafficking' of mission commodities
Well, it's true, but it's not nearly as bad as whatever you're thinking. I considered toning down that headline, but in terms of EVE Online's game mechanics, essentially you can engage in (or choose to reject) such practices. You see, in EVE Online people can be considered commodities and are used as mission items: marines; exotic dancers; slaves; and perhaps the lowliest of the low -- tourists. In fact, anyone who's been running missions in EVE Online for a while likely has many of these commodities sitting in their hangars unused. EVE player Siri Blue decided to run an unusual contest of sorts, the "People for Stuff" Raffle where players can convert their "people" into a chance of winning prizes. What do EVE players need to do to enter? Siri Blue writes, "In order to participate you contract 1000 people to me (location or type does not matter - homeless, slaves, exotic dancers, tourists, marines - everything is ok.)" For those easily confused, Siri adds, "Cows do not count as people!"
