S3 Adds CORS Support

Some interesting news today: Amazon's S3 now supports CORS, the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing standard. This means that in addition to storing your images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files in S3 as you might be now, you can now also store any static data or templates you want to retrieve via ajax there, assuming your user is using a browser that supports CORS (all modern ones do, one way or another). This isn't a game-changer, there were ways to do this anyway (basically embedding those resources in JavaScript files a'la JSONP), but it just got a bit easier...
