Zune hardware was a mistake, admits former Microsoft exec Robbie Bach

I know of one person who owned a Zune and he really liked it. He liked the music subscription service too, it was well before the days of Rdio or Spotify. The hardware was never awful, it just came way too late.

Just how big are porn sites?

Finally, bandwidth. Referring back to our Xvideos example (based on an Ad Planner estimate), a large porn site will have to have enough connectivity to serve up 50 gigabytes per second, or 400Gbps. Bear in mind this is an average data rate, too: At peak time, Xvideos might burst to 1,000Gbps (1Tbps) or more. To put this into perspective, there’s only about 15Tbps of connectivity between London and New York.

Big.
