EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Today, iTnews editor Brett Winterford looks at how Amazon could and/or should respond to a major outage that took out its AWS cloud computing service during the Easter break.

We also feature an analysis of Sony's response to the PlayStation Network data breach, with a Japanese professor noting that having a "huckster-in-chief" CEO is "definitely not a Japanese style".
