When asked about cloud solutions and data centers most people get a bit uncertain. Even though most of us use a service from data centers daily, few people have in-depth knowledge of them.

Answers we would have also accepted: Creepy Magellan, Ectom Tom, and Boooooo-gle Maps. Okay, maybe we wouldn't have accepted that last one. Also, is the Waze logo a ghost, or is that just me?

You all knew this was coming: the episode where one of the cast gets taken into police custody. Honestly? I'm just amazed it didn't happen thirty one episodes sooner.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, Vermont acquired a reputation for being a haven for hippies and a hotbed of counter-cultural communal living. There was some truth to that. But the communes and alternative life-styles of that generation had a deeper history than most outsiders—and most of the commune residents themselves—knew. And, like their predeces…
