It went something like this - my memory is a little hazy as this happened a few years ago: Kraft at the time owned Nabisco and had all of it's "snack" brands under the Nabisco umbrella. Mondelez and Kraft merged and then split all the "snack" brands off under Mondelez (this included Cadbury because Kraft had already taken them over). Then 3G capital came in and merged Kraft and Heinz and spun Mondelez completely off into its own company - all the Cadbury/Nabisco brands are under the Mondelez umbrella and Kraft/Heinz has the non-snack stuff.

If you're just looking for something to get started and get it out there I have used kickassvps.com for some sites. Pretty good and starts at $29/month with full remote desktop access.

Right, things you post to your Facebook page, not ads you are actually buying from Facebook. You get to advertise for free by creating a page for your business and getting people to like it. It has a ton of value for your business, but you're not purchasing anything directly from Facebook.

And when that P3 finally kicks the bucket? Or a power outage/earthquake/insert problem of your choice happens? I'm happy knowing that if my gmail is down, there is an entire team of people working to fix it - with no effort on my part at all. Just keep a backup of your mail and this whole cloud thing ain't so bad (hopefully your mail is backed up anyway cloud or no).

>To put that 800Gbps figure into perspective, the internet only handles around half an exabyte of traffic every day, which equates to around 50Tbps — in other words, a single porn site accounts for almost 25% of the internet’s total traffic.

That should be more like 1.6% if those numbers are correct...

Still an absurd amount of traffic.

As a mostly self taught programmer who has been ignoring tests for too long, can anyone provide links to any books/primers/resources that can introduce me to writing tests and doing so effectively?

It's not close to Wall street. This building is where their NYC offices were already located, by buying it, it makes it easy to expand into vacant office space. And, as stated in the article, about 25% of the building is data center space, it is one of the largest carrier hotels in NYC.

Please.......

If you are computer savvy enough to be irate about not having a browser ballot on your fresh Windows 7 install, I think you can manage the pain of typing getfirefox.com into IE.

the 2,400-page restricted document

Holy crap, are they serious? I can't imagine the mounds of BS that must be included in this thing.

Surely these guidelines could be slimmed down to say - 1 page - Stop sending/copying/telling people about classified documents.

http://www.crucial.com/ is probably a good place to start, select your system from the drop downs and it will give you the exact type of memory you need - and for a decent price. There might be cheaper options if you hunt around, just get the dimm size from crucial and google around to compare prices.

I think what he's getting at is that if Microsoft has a similar product and they gained 2 million users, it would not be seen as impressive, because that is still far less than 1% of all Windows users.

So, while Microsoft may have a competing product with many millions of users, at their scale it doesn't get the same recognition as a startup gaining 2 million users.
