Speak for yourself.

I’m very important.

I agree with Peter. I think Michelle is focusing on people using tech rudely…99% of the time it’s fine.

If you actually watched the live feed yesterday, Michelle, you would know that I was being more than considerate to my fellow passengers. I never once spoke or held a conversation with anyone over VoIP or anything along those lines. I think you’re missing the whole point of me having tested the service.

It’s not about being a dinosaur it’s about being considerate of your fellow human being. Yeah, it’s great that we can get the internet anywhere and everywhere. It’s not a good thing when people refuse to show some common respect for others. Texting, checking email, etc in a movie theater is UNACCEPTABLE, neither would doing live video blogging on a airplane. It’s just another way people can show off and say “Hey look at me, I’m sooo important.” Especially when the resulting video blog is a lame useless video like this, that proves my point.

I know about “Big Top”. MSFT R&D doesn’t matter in this configuration.

If customers REQUEST Microsoft windows servers, we can install a couple of them. So far with the initial clients there have been no requests for Microsoft Windows server products.

Even if we have a couple Windows servers in the CDN it will not matter because the Layer-4 large pipe packet routing server will be in front of them.

It sits in front of everything in Region A (Los Angeles). Later this year when Region B(New York City) opens with my friend Jeff running it, there will be a similar layer-4 dual xeon on that large xeon cluster as well. At that point there will be a new DNS server and failover DNS server.

The DNS server will take requests and match them up to a regional IP address mask list. That list will determine what state the person is in. If the person is in a state or country closer to NYC, it will route the request to the IP in NYC, if they are closer to LA, it will route the request to LA’s master IPs.

I will rinse and repeat this until the CDN project is worldwide.

This is soooo cool. Just the fact that we can be up in the air and online is awesome. We’re getting to the point where you are always connected no matter where you are.

Agreed. This is by far the most homosexual post I’ve ever come across on Crunch. You guys are seriously going to devote bandwidth to advertise a service with some idiot on an airplane? Wow.
