As VT's "jcanto" said a while ago:
"We're the same team, in the same location (Malaga), doing the same stuff we've been doing for 10 years. What we have now is access to far more resources, and what is very important, good defenses against attacks. I don't know if you guys remember what happened to us with DDoS attacks last summer until we moved our interface to GAE."
