Heh. I designed that facility. Back then, it was for Raleigh Mann, who is now head of net ops (director?) at google. The original design of that facility was supposed to be based on fiber to the desktop which would allow any idle machines i

To be honest with you, I don't care for Ashton Kutcher as an actor -- but I am very impressed with him as an angel investor. I don't know who his tech handler may be (if any) but they get him exposed to some very interesting projects, and I

This is a fantastic comment, and advice that should be seen by everyone -- especially scrappy startups on YC that have aspirations to turn into said dreaded enterprise. There is a balance that one has to achieve between agility and stabilit

It would be funny if there was some glowing comment in agreement with the site, then a reply / comment button - but the only thing that happens when you press that button is it copies the original glowing comment and pastes it new. Or espec
