For those who also didn't know, it's:
The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows US employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker must either apply for and be granted a change of status to another non-immigrant status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or leave the US.
VMs are basically a step towards the cloud mentality. Once you're in that mentatlity, it suddenly becomes trivial to remove and add new nodes when one dies. Suddenly failure just isn't a big deal any more*.

station wagon has low bandwidth, the tapes have to be written and read.
No. Bandwidth is how much you can send in one go (tapes/hdds in a car are extremely high). Latency is fairly much how long it takes you to do it. Throughput brings these together.
Hailo, a European mobile taxi network, is announcing a $17 million round of Series A financing led by Accel Partners.
Hailo, which has been operating in London since last year, is a mobile network that matches passengers and licensed taxi drivers.
This looks like a real business with real revenues that has worked in London. I wonder what this will be like when it gets to the US.
I'd go a step further to say that there were many different models of the RAZR. I have one of the higher end ones (second hand) and it easily keeps up with moden phones.
And functionality wise it does pretty well too. It's easy to teather, browse (I use opera) and run Java applications.
The OP may not like their phone, but if you read the wikipedia page, you can see the original RAZR easily makes it into the definition of a smart phone.
