Comments on: Some times numbers don’t do something justice http://bradfordbenn.com/2009/10/some-times-numbers-dont-do-something-justice/ My thoughts and other things to share Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:23:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris MacAskill http://bradfordbenn.com/2009/10/some-times-numbers-dont-do-something-justice/#comment-57 Chris MacAskill Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:14:22 +0000 http://bradfordbenn.com/blog/?p=385#comment-57 I was wondering who would do the math! When it went live at midnight neither I nor Vincent could believe the numbers we were seeing, and honestly I was holding my breath wrt system uptime. Gizmodo and Engadget embedded the 640-pixel version but they also provided a direct link to the 1080p version, which helped things go insane. Fortunately, very few of those bits went through our data centers as Akamai did the heavy lifting. I can't say enough about those guys, they almost never let us down.
