New from Tim O'Reilly's Blog we have this charming infographic, apparently from a presentation by one Vic Gundotra, Google VP of Engineering.
That's right. That little box in the bottom left represents the entire advancement of the web as a platform between 1990 and 2008, dwarfed into insignificance by the massive advances we've seen in the last year.
