Datacenter in the Cloud can be a good thing, but….
... a cloud in a Datacenter most likely is going to ruin your day (especially if it's a smoke-cloud).

Firefox, WTF?
Problem: As of today, 00:00hrs, Firefox plugins are no longer working.
Proof: Start Firefox, surf to a News Advertising Website and - oups? What the....?!
