USA Today is running a only slightly tongue-in-cheek article pointing out that the on-line porn industry has become the technology testbed for innovative content delivery.

A lot of people have this idea that most porn is run on flaky servers in big server farms by shadowy sleaze bags. Form my experience working for Internet Entertainment Group, only one of those things (run by sleaze bags) was true. We ran IEG out of half a floor in a glass tower next to Pike Place Market in Seattle. We had 2 OC-3 lines and a few T-1s running from our studios in Capital Hill, 9 SGI servers running IRIX, and a RAID with terabytes before people tossed that term around much. Totally "state of the art". The boss, Seth, however, was a sleaze of the first level, and now resides in Thailand (for some reason, he fears coming back here, pissed off a few people).
