Love to help out and get more kits for schools. Think youngsters should definitely be playing with hardware.

We're working with several early companies in the industrial space, especially logistics and manufacturing.

Absolutely. https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/ There are also specific hardware guides as well.

Thanks, we're excited to show it to the world.

Well Modulus, http://modulus.io, has a number of things that set us apart. One is that we're not really into to tiers. Custom SSL, domains, etc... are part of the normal package. We support WebSockets, there are a couple others that do but most don't. The really interesting piece is that we provide our customers with a great set of statistics about your running application (number of requests, response times, cpu, memory and more). We also have MongoDB hosting in house which lets you spin up a database for your application quickly.

The main application runs in a single thread and then I/O activities happen in an event loop running with a small thread pool.

Once one of those activities completes the event loop will give a signal to the main thread of the Node app and the callback will be executed.

Not sure if that helped or just confused everyone.

I'd love to chat about the platform. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for pimping it. I just don's to turn this comment area into a discussion of the platform. Hit us up on twitter @OnModulus or send an email to feedback@modulus.io.

Yeah great point.

People use what they're used to so most of the time that falls back to Heroku. I get that, I really do. Just want to make sure people know it's not the only option.

Yes we're mostly on AWS. We actually use AWS for most of the infrastructure and then Azure for hold stats we push. This will be added to FAQ, ASAP. I agree that is does matter.

GridFS stores chucks as different documents so this still should be fine for our pricing scheme. Each chunk is saved in 256K document.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the support.

1. We do not currently do raw TCP load balancing. It's HTTP and WebSocket load balancing. It's not an impossibility to do. Just haven't had a ton of people ask for it yet.

2. Yes you can use wildcard subdomains. You can then use different subdomains or wildcard on any project(s).

Any custom built caching layer is normally going to have to handle this situation.

Actually Twitter and Groupon both make a lot of money off those people. Revenue != profit. Groupon is spending a ton of money moving into new markets. Now, I don't love Groupon but saying they don't make money is just wrong.

That puts a share of Facebook around $30 if you buy that those 23M are worth 700M.

I'm working on new engine myself. Feel free to check it out over at http://withpulse.com.

From my experience with iPhone and iTunes connect (also not a great application) I don't spend a lot of time in iTunes Connect. Are you spending a lot of time in the App Hub? What I'm getting at is that this sounds like a pretty minor thing in the grand scheme.

I don't really call myself a fanboy of any one camp, I use whatever I think is best. And minus catching up in applications (which WP7 is working on), I think that the experience from a Windows Phone is better than an Android hands down. Android has more flexibility but everything doesn't feel like it fits together. iOS and WP7 both have a way of making nearly everything act and seem like it fits perfectly together. Is he delusional? No, it's normal Balmer, overconfident and a bit too cocky.

I do think that if Nokia can get our a great WP7 phone soon, I believe it'll be a top 3 phone.

That's assuming you have drop box install on the computer, have an account. The point is my mom doesn't have a dropbox account so she's still sol in this example.

This isn't particularly on topic though.
