  1. Design Flaw? on General Motors To Slash Outsourcing In IT Overhaul · · Score: 1

    From the article, "Data center consolidation: GM plans to go from 23 sizable data centers worldwide to just two, both in Michigan. "
    Note the locations, or should I say location. Is Michigan so big you can get physical diversity?

  7. Built for sale.. on How Red Hat Decides Which Open Source Companies To Buy · · Score: 2

    What I got from the article is that they are will to buy a company with:
    an established community based product
    centralized developers willing to work for Redhat

    For companies that have distributed developers/contributors, they tend to just hire major contributors to steer it in the direction Redhat wants it to go.

    Governments have never demanded that citizens give us their private holdings of gold.

  10. Candy Bar on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 1

    Forget the $100, offer them a candy bar. They will sign up for organ donation, a 30% interest rate credit card with a big yearly fee, and give you their company username and password.

  11. Vista vs RIM Patent Litigation on Are Patent Wars Worth the Price Tag? · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_In_Motion#Patent_litigation

    On May 1, 2006, RIM was sued by Visto for infringement of four patents.[47] Though the patents were widely considered invalid and in the same veins as the NTP patents – with a judgement going against Visto in the U.K.[48][49] – RIM settled the lawsuit in the United States on July 16, 2009, with RIM agreeing to pay Visto US$267.5M plus other undisclosed terms.[50]

  16. American Forest Dwellers on Committee Offers Scenarios for Japan's Energy Future · · Score: 1

    You would need something the size of a redwood tree to hold the average American right?

  17. Would have helped FB IPO on Australian Company Promises Switching Hardware With Sub-130ns Latency · · Score: 1

    It would have helped in the Facebook IPO. All the investors with this level of link would have devalued Facebook stock faster than normal folks on DSL could have bought it.
