The web services space is getting more and more interesting for  
scientific and education computing!  I wrote about this in my blog  
(below).  Within about an hour I was able to get an EC2 virtual  
webserver up and running from my Macintosh laptop!  I began using S3  
a few months ago via an application (JungleDisk) that makes it look  
like a Mac network drive.  We are now looking at what role S3 might  
fill in TeraGrid.  It is not a solution for the high-end, but even  
the high-end users have more modest storage requirements for which a  
share-able service like S3 would be of great interest.

Looking at EC2 in context with things like Sun's and IBM's offerings:
