chWhat, then, is the total bandwidth requirement for 400 million concurrent YouTube streams of the royal wedding? If we assume that Google will provide a 720p stream — anything less, and you wouldn’t be able to make out the elated faces of royalist revelers — then the starting point for the total, peak bandwidth is 2Mbps multiplied by 400,000,000, for a total of 800,000,000Mbps. That number, in case you were wondering, is massive; it’s 800,000Gbps, for a total of 100,000GB of data transferred every second, or 6,000,000GB per minute. Your computer’s hard drive probably has a capacity of around 1,000GB.

Tiny Wings Review
Tiny Wings ist eines der netteren iPhone-Spiele. Und das hier ist ein Spitzen-Review:
I hate this game. I hate it so much. Every time I open it, I tense up. I dread touching for sunrise. I hate the night. It’s a fucking bastard, the night. And what about the sun? The sun is a lazy bitch
