Instagram DOWN Due to Amazon Cloud Outage

An outage of Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud in North Virginia has taken down Netflix, Pinterest, Instagram, and other services. According to numerous Twitter updates and our own checks, all three services are unavailable as of Friday evening at 9:10 p.m. PT.

Amazon’s service health dashboard indicates that there are power issues in its North Virginia data center, most likely caused by severe storms in the region. The outage underscores the vulnerabilities of depending on the public cloud versus using your own data centers.

Macbook Pro (Retina) Leather Sleeve from Opt

Purchased this Leather case feom Macstudio. Price: RM 269
Nice fitting even tho it has been designed for the older Macbook Pro.
Unfortunately there is strap to hold the Macbook.
If you purchase the "horizontal" sleeve, its more suitable for Messenger Bag type. If you wear a backpack, a "vertical" sleeve is a better option.
