Netflix, with a market cap of 20 billion, has their infrastructure completely dependent on AWS, as well. Doesn't seem to be spooking markets.

Developers should be careful with extensions like these. Another popular one (switch "cloud" to "butt") has resulted in me finding image embeds from "buttfront.net" (and broken images) in page sources on a coup

Twitter does this (automatically subscribes you to each new category of email) as well, and it infuriates me to no end.

You might find this service I built useful: It queries the Bing API for different combos of the name/domain (John.Smith@nytimes.com, JSmith@nytimes.com, etc) and returns their counts, and then deeplinks into a Google verbatim search of

Is there a reason this article doesn't mention what the actual tax rate is? According to other articles, it's 6.25%, but that omission from this article seems glaring. Is it because that number is perceived as low, and mentioning

I think you might have a bug. The winning version was on the right side for me nearly every time I tried (n equals more than 30).

Well, technically, in this case since the response from the server doesn't matter, this has always been possible. There are lots of pre-AJAX ways to send data to a server from JavaScript, including requesting Images (which is what Google

Really, the goal is to use the right tool for the data analysis they're doing. 90% of the time, that's Excel; they're looking at reports that can easily be pivot tabled or VLOOKUP'd to get what they need, or use the strengths of the UI and
