By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 05/17/10 -- UB and Absolute Poker are getting in on the prop bet action with The Craziest Last Longer Bet, and for cash-strapped students, it's 'easy street' to Vegas for the 2010 World Series of Poker* ("WSOP*"). Only those with the sickest last longer bets need apply; share them with the world on YouTube, and detail exactly what the first to bust in the bet has to do, and it could mean winning a VIP prize package to Vegas this July.

Everyone knows that Collegiates are kick ass competitive, and turning to online poker in droves on campuses across America more than ever before. So, the Craziest Last Longer Bet on the CEREUS Poker Network is perfect for students looking to settle a rivalry with a buddy.

Capture a craziest last longer bet on video, iPhone or webcam, upload it to YouTube, and tag it either "Our video for the www.UB.com last longer bet" or "www.AbsolutePoker.com WSOP 2010 last longer bet." The entry that earns the most votes gets shipped to Las Vegas along with their poker rival to play out their bet in Event # 54 of WSOP*, a $1,000 buy-in No Limit Hold 'em event that kicks off at the Rio in 'Sin City' on July 1, 2010. The VIP Vegas package includes return airfares, hotel stay, Event # 54 tournament entry for two, plus the chance to hang with the cool crowd -- Team UB and Absolute Poker pro players -- at the exclusive invitation-only UB player party.

So, get freaky, and get filming. The Craziest Last Longer Bet online promotion is running now, across the CEREUS Network. Google 'Our video for the www.UB.com last longer bet' or 'www.AbsolutePoker.com WSOP 2010 last longer bet', and click videos to check out some of the competition so far.
