Amazon has been profitable for many years now. YCharts showing profitability by quarter: http://j.mp/13zx97Z for the last 5 years.

If you have not peaked into it yet, the way Dr. Plesser explains concepts and bridges them with the historical advances leaves a lasting impression. I wish we had classes like this back in school.
Ummm, no you did not teach them to speak English.
Rather, "you" eradicated the parts of the population that did not speak English.
I love this idea!
Also - this is just the number of objects stored (not put in ever) Obviously because storage costs, folks have purging solutions. It'd be interesting to see a similar trend for requests/sec.

Supporting old OS by Apple: of course they want you to upgrade, to profit.
