      "BETA SERVICES... MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, DEFECTS, OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS." And so may generally available services, too!

      "We may delete, without liability, any of Your Content that sits in an Amazon SQS queue" seems like a dangerous term.

      If you use Microsoft software in ec2: Microsoft is not responsible for providing any support in connection with the Services. Do not contact Microsoft for support. Honestly, "do not contact @microsoft for support" may as well be MS's slogan.pic.twitter.com/ZYd0VXeQsS

      IBM software and Microsoft SQL Server are not allowed to run on Spot instances. Ergo nothing that lives at https://github.com/ibm  should be used for any app that may potentially run on spot instances. Either @awscloud declares war on @IBM, or IBM shot itself in the foot.

      "We may terminate the EC2 Reserved Instance and EC2 Dedicated Host Reservation pricing program at any time." Please let that time be now. Savings Plans are the way and the light.

      If you use a credit card to buy a RI, you can't sell it on the marketplace for 30 days after the transaction. And that's how they fight credit card chargebacks!pic.twitter.com/YZBUPAdAZv

      "Media shipped to us for import into or export fromo supported AWS Services" typos AWS Legal. The FROMO is real! This page has no feedback link so I use Twitter dot com instead. I can't believe this website is free.

      "You may not allow Snowmobile Materials to leave the Transfer Site other than under the supervision of personnel designated by AWS." That's how they kill my joyriding plans.pic.twitter.com/T9xYDp7SNe

      "We may charge you the applicable lost device fee specified on the AWS Snowball pricing pages" Liars! The fee is not disclosed anywhere on those pages. I have looked; it's relevant to a project I have in mind.pic.twitter.com/B5AGe8bBLs

      If you use Oracle Software on AWS, you're screwed. You can't benchmark it, nor use it for rental, timesharing, subscription services, hosting, or outsourcing.pic.twitter.com/AU4iGDXB67

      You’re screwed before you even consider any of those, really.
