Rarely do corporate results give me such a warm and fuzzy feeling as Lego being reborn in the middle of a recession (or towards the end, actually it doesn't matter. Go Lego!).

Are you talking about the same company? As in, the most successful, largest IT company in the world?

Same, but why I keep coming back to HN for these irrelevant stories I don't know.

Great work. I immediately stored it to help my future hosting decisions. Small feature suggestions: include percentages in the pie charts to make them more readable. (Especially for colour blind)

There will always be a gap between what's technologically interesting and what's economically interesting. Web applications stopped being technologically interesting a while back. I've seen everything from in-browser HD-video to AJAX-powere
