You mean Cloudflare spun some BS marketing to make this seem bigger and more interesting than it was? Color my shocked.

Why do you feel the need to repost your own blog posts here?

LOL, no.

After the Reader-is-dead news cycle ends, the money will stop flowing, and the real work (supporting paying users) begins.

I don't think you understand.

All design builds on other design. Maybe this guy was "inspired" by LayerVault, maybe not.

The problem is that a DMCA takedown is like using a sledgehammer when you could have just asked nicely first.

This is just bad PR for no reason.

Akamai will talk to you and even put you on the non-ghetto maps ('b') for $3k/month.

You just have to know who to talk to.

Cloudflare is for people who don't care what CDNs actually do. There are much better choices (EdgeCast is great, CDNetworks is decent, etc) for most people between the $200/m and $10000/m range anyway.

Anyone paying Cloudflare $3k/month is not doing their homework.

Hehe. Downvoted for pointing out Cloudflare are amateurs.

Welcome to the club.

Cloudflare is not a replacement for Akamai. They've just admitted to having a single network ops guy monitoring their network at night. Cloudflare is what happens when amateurs attempt to run a CDN.

What reason do you have to pitch Cloudflare?

Because they want you to think they're doing something more than running a bunch of leased servers from dedicated server providers.

Why does the app install feature have to be tied to Google+?

Android and Google+ are totally separate things. Please give Android developers the equivalent of Apple's app banners without jumping through hoops and sending people to Google+.

Considering that imgur serves... images... no, their transfer isn't being cut by 50%.

This article is just a press release about a feature that has been done forever (look up "WAN accelerator").

People have been doing this for at least 10 years.

CloudFlare is a YC thing, so that's why this is even news.

If I use this to store my "user data", how do I do any meaningful server-side computation on that data?

A much better comparison would be a self hosted properly tuned PostgreSQL instance vs RedShift. :)

That's because it's not possible to make money with email clients.

And this is just Sparrow 2.0.

There's no way for these guys to make money. The only option is an exit, which is why it's a free product.

The PS3 has actually overtaken the X360. Also note that the PS3 came out a full year after the X360... so... yeah. :)

Claiming that the Xbox (360? since that's what's shown in the screenshots) crushed its competition is disingenuous at best, since the Wii outsold it massively, and the PS3 has outsold it even after launching a year after.

They lock it in and hope the price goes up so they can make a profit.

This is pretty much exactly how FX wire services work.
