“BitTorrent is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, and is the name of a free software implementation of that protocol. The protocol was originally designed and created by programmer Bram Cohen. BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources.” (Source: Wikipedia)

“JC, Jonni, and I invested a tremendous amount of personal effort and energy into the creation of this site. It all began from our personal passion for cigars and our mutual friendship for one another. We knew that three gringos from the East Coast could publish a better cigar resource than anyone else online if we tried. For over three years in our spare time, we worked to create CNX as you see it today.”
“Over the years there have been many articles written on how to ID Cuban cigars, but personally, I have always felt they lacked the needed detail to help the average consumer. I have tried my best to compile the insights I have developed over the last decade into a primer than will immediately help the uneducated to quickly identify suspicious cigars from the real deal. Although I consider this to be the ultimate article ever written on the subject, however it is not a foolproof system. Only years of close attention to detail and experience will afford you the ability to easily and definitively determine fake Havanas from real.”

“Design Patterns and Business Models for the Next Generation of Software”
by Tim O’Reilly
The concept of “Web 2.0″ began with a conference brainstorming session between O’Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O’Reilly VP, noted that far from having “crashed”, the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity.
