I tried making my first video log tonight... hopefully I can get it up and posted on this blog fast.
I have a big fat hunch that from this week on I shall be on a sleep deprivation mode in order to complete all my assignments and projects. Am soooo looking forward to it as I look forward to being swarmed by live prawns.
eep
Read an interesting piece of article today off cnet.com, one which involves Facebook borrowing $100 million to keep up with the management of the company due to it's ever increasing growth. The money is meant to be invested in some 50,000 more servers, built better infrastructures, and raise the number of Facebook employees from the mere 450 to roughly 1000 over manpower. Talk about wow factor.
I remember the video screened in class before about Zuckerberg and Facebook, more prominently the portion which mentioned that even though Facebook is worth alot of money, and that Zuckerberg himself was estimated to be worth millions upon millions, the company doesn't see the revenue in hard cold cash. Its to say that Facebook actually isn't making much profit compared to the estimated value it holds to it's name.
No wonder they need to borrow money D=
Still, does it really cost THAT much of money to expand server farms? O.o

It does cost alot to expand server farm.
Let's just say each rack server cost $1000.
multiply it by 50,000 and it's gonna be a huge amount, estimated around $50million.
Now what do you think? =D
