A little devil's avocate: Isn't Instagram primarily a photo sharing app? I'm not sure why people are complaining that it starts the upload on filter completion. My only question is how long are photos not marked as user initiated uploads ke

For one the console market blew up, no longer did you need to drop wads of cash for a computer to run the latest games. Broadband reached critical mass so networking the consoles got better and with it came a number of players you could nev

The reason we are using Solaris (aka SmartOS) is because Joyent only supports CPU bursting on Solaris. They also offer other OS's but they don't have the burstable cores. http://www.joyentcloud.com/products/smartmachines/features/

I choose Solaris because Joyent's SmartOS is the only way to get CPU bursting on their cloud service (my only gripe with them).

The bottom line is, if you are selling a paid app, iOS is the way to go. This conclusion from a single app is very weak at best. Otherwise, thank you for the write-up from your experience.
