Comment on Yahoo's new killer appparent

Comments

Serious question: Could they build their IT center on big boats like casinos?

Sure, the traffic would still go through US, but that can be encrypted (with something better than SSL).

Sure they could.

They could also spend billions buying every block of lego to create a Yahoo logo visible from space. Which makes about as much sense as introducing significant legal risks to their business all for a few thousand new email accounts.

How do you power the data centre?

A low latency uplink without a single point of failure is another major problem too.

They could, but that doesn't change anything, Yahoo is still US based and can be forced to do whatever they want.
