Apparently Microsoft only has about 200,000 servers. (and Hotmail only 20,000) - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
Apparently Gmail had more, didn't it? - Alex Kapranoff
Who let them to take those screenshots :D ? - Harun Baris Bulut
How old is this? Who knows hows Chicago doing!?? - Jigar Mehta
It should be from Jan 2008. - Ionut
Didn't Google Calendar have just 113? http://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/... - Tony Ruscoe
How many does Google have? - Ian
is it really 113 ? then google receives a big WOW from me :D - Harun Baris Bulut
Even Google Reader had around 200 servers one year ago. - Ionut
@Harun: I said *had* 113. That was almost two years ago and it's wasn't confirmed. - Tony Ruscoe
If this is accurate, each server consumes ~490W on average. Also 8 machines / rack. So these are pretty conventional data centers (~30A / rack) , holding pretty big machines. - Sanjeev Singh

Sounds interesting, especially the sharing options and OS integration. Private Beta :( Let's hope the invitation comes around quickly :) - Mustafa K. Isik
Beta code expired :( Hopefully they'll get some more out. I'd like to try it out. Here's another one: http://www.getdropbox.com/beta... - Brandon Titus
This looks pretty good. Seems like a easy to use svn - Turker Keskinpala
Yeah, it's pretty slick. The sharing options and OS integration seem to be the major differing points. - Patrick Veverka
just as an aside MS FolderShare supports bot Windows and Mac and integrates with the OS(es) and Explorer - Steven Hodson
i prefer FolderShare which I've been using for years. It's encrypted end-to-end. dropbox says nothing about privacy - Huy Zing
If you are using Mac you can use symlinks in your ~/Dropbox folder to effectively sync everything to Dropbox. Really really nice! I need a bit more space for this to be really useful though. Damn RAW photos! - Benjamin Golub
i'm waiting for my beta invite. I'm already not a fan of the http://getdropbox.com/terms: "By utilizing and accessing the Site, Content, Services and/or Your Files, you agree not to share any information about the Site, Content or Services or our proposed business, or use such information for any purpose other than to participate in our beta test." - David Vasileff
i wonder if the example file being a picture of a platypus was just incidental :) - Karl Rosaen
@Karl: I sincerely doubt it, since the image used is the _exact_ same one as the leaked one back from 2006 - http://blogoscoped.com/archive... Plus Aston was an intern with me in MTV. I thought it was the funniest part of the video... not that the rest of the content was really meant to be funny. - Andrew Bonventre

Sex Trade: Governor's sex scandal may jump start call girl's singing career
March 12 at 9:59 pm - Link
"New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's downfall could be a good thing for the girl who serviced him. Ashley Alexandra Dupré, known to Spitzer as "Kristen, has put her songs on Amie Street, a startup that prices songs according to their popularity, were free this morning. Now they're up to 37 cents each. It's unlikely they'll hit $5,000 a pop, but it's good to know market forces play as much a role in her future career as in her old one." - Paul Buchheit
That quote is gold! Yay capitalism! - Glenn Slaven
Damn. Now that's what you call a Gold Digger! - Corvida
