- 454,400: Number of Amazon servers; 45PB: Facebook Data Warehouse, grows exponentially; 5 Atoms: Ultimate limit of thermodynamics; YouTube: 4 billion views/day, 60 hours of video uploaded every minute, revenue doubled in 2010
- Quotable quotes:

- @BVA100: I disagree with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". We ought to be forward thinkers, concerned with leading indicators and scalability.
- Dilbert on the meaning of it all.
- Cassandra and Solid State Drives. DataStax's Rick Branson with a sweet explanation of how Cassandra was built for a world of spinning disks, which means it only writes sequentially, which turns out to be a good way to use SSDs too.
