In a brief interview, Rackspace director of finance Bryan McGrath said that Rackspace is winning the business it most wants: customers who have complex deployments that demand a higher level of service than what Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) (NASDAQ: GOOG ) offer with their own cloud offerings. - [By Adam Levy]
Finding a middle ground
There may be room to compromise. Earlier this year, Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) bundled a music streaming service into Amazon Prime. The service features a select catalog of music that's at least six months old. It's also notably missing Universal's catalog, the largest of the big three labels. It's a very limited catalog, but that also means Amazon is able to bundle it with Prime for no additional cost to subscribers. Still, Amazon's limited catalog and subpar user interface seem to have limited its adoption. - [By Adam Levy]
The spinoff announcement comes just weeks after Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) announced it would enter the digital payments market with Apple Pay in October. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) also recently announced a new credit card reader for mobile devices to complement its "sign-in and pay with Amazon" service.

eBay has evolved well beyond its original auction format to become a dominant online marketplace for goods of all sorts. With much of its volume coming from Buy It Now direct sales, eBay competes more with Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and its own third-party merchant network than with other auction sites. Amazon gets nearly 40% of its sales from third-party sellers, so the niche is an important one, and eBay has sought to distinguish itself by noting that unlike Amazon, it isn't in direct competition with its sellers. eBay has also started to extend small-business loans through PayPal to encourage high-volume sellers to do business on the site.

While the ongoing implosion of crude oil prices has put high-profile names like Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) and Linn Energy LLC (NASDAQ:LINE) in the limelight - and the hot seat - all the noise surrounding those and other names may have distracted investors from looking at the oil rout in an opportunistic light rather than through the panic-colored glasses that have proven so damaging to the likes of LINE and CHK. Rather than fret over how difficult life was going to be for Linn Energy, Chesapeake Energy, and all their peers now that the price of oil was at or below the cost of drilling for it, investors should have been looking at companies that make drilling for oil cheaper and more cost-effective. Enter Propell Technologies Group Inc. (OTCBB:PROP).
