Here is an inetersting article in Wired.

Thought this seemed very relevant to what a lot of people are doing here. This just goes to show that you have to do it better and cheaper than everyone else, I guess. Or, what do I know?

Not sure where this belonged, but this seemed like as good a place as any.

Discuss.

    Very interesting. The last couple of pages also peaked my curiousity as this is something that I might be able to take advantage of at work. Thanks for sharing.
