I agree, however you can reduce fraud load by rate limiting IPs for a start. I'm not sure if shop.oculus.com uses the same infrastructure as www.oculus.com (I'm assuming not). But if it did, caching www would help as well.

Interesting tweet from Palmer (https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/684772857625231360) on high load and fraud. Always interesting to see large launches not considering load/security on the web app. Out of curiosity, why is www.oculus.com not using a CDN (direct to AWS), and shop.oculus.com not using a CDN with rate control capabilities.

This might be a better URL to link to: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/oculus-rift-pre-orders-now.... Shipping to 20 countries starting March 28 and in select retailers in April.

ryanlol already mentioned you could have ran a curl to check what's being delivered.
But, you can also use the Web Archive and check every domain yourself within their waterfall chart: http://web.archive.org/web/20150126072317/http://www.malaysi...
Looks like a bunch of static assets delivered by: fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com, pbs.twimg.com, and www.youtube.com. Looks similar to what I saw post-defacement/pre-fix.

The second defacement reminded me of a geocities page with music playing in the background.

I literally just ordered flowers from ProFlowers and the whole flower ordering business sucks. I can't stand seeing flowers on a site for $19.99 then on the last page seeing that shipping and handling is another $20 bucks. And seeing an option for a coupon and searching the web for something is also absurd. I'm digging the flat model and speed. I'm not in the SF area, but I'm looking forward to this spreading through the US.

It was more informative than being disappointed :). Thanks for the great service.

Looking forward to trying this out! As an FYI, you're missing a period in one of your paragraphs for your email copy "...If you’re not sure what to build? ...no worries, I have advice for that too" - that last line should be "too.".

I signed up about an hour ago and got my email just now.

This is exactly the comment I was looking for. Has anyone read both this and Hartl's tutorial? What are the strengths of this book over Hartl's?

Was waiting on this version to start reading your book and start learning rails. Excellent news! Looking forward to reading this.

Looks like a good time to join railscasts. Might have to look into Padrino now. Thanks for the info. From a quick search, I couldn't find anything more recent than 2 years old for Sinatra, so net tuts might have to do. Thanks again.

I'm completely okay with moving from where I am to "complete n00b" :). I've always heard great things about Hartl's book, just never had the chance to sit through and keep going through it more than 1 chapter a week. Did you go through all the videos as well? Did you tackle TDD and git along the way?
