This post and Joyent's last post (http://tinyurl.com/6p49xk) certainly make it seem as if they're scared of App Engine and what Google is doing.
Late April Fools? I hope so. At least the customer info. part.
hmmmm... i have been looking for a similar "sponsor" host for me and my hacker friends... we will be contributing for a dev house. the Joyent idea is great but not for everyone, we don't have 25K visitors/month :P
anyone interested in hosting some of our apps and our apps-to-be? PHP5, MySQL, RoR, etc... yes, this is a shameless plug because funding is out of the equation here, no Y Combinator or Launchbox since i am from cebu, philippines...

Ha, the first comment is priceless "Is this for real!"
i think they are secretly working on some high level AI stuff that requires lots of worldly data
That already makes me incredibly suspicious of Joyent.
I'm.. not sure I will ever use them. I mean, what're they gonna DO with all that data?

They are using parody to criticize the very same terms that Google is offering for their App Engine (which people seem excited about).
Yeah but this post and their other just turn me off joyent. The offense they take to changes in the landscape just seems pathetic.
But, I guess when your whole business is supposed to be storing people's data and instead you end up making it inaccessible for over a week (http://tinyurl.com/2pt8g3), you stop caring.
