Not trying to be an arse, but the guy spent a lot more time talking about himself and other unrelated stuff than about how S3 works. And I don't mind a good article on RAMAC, but that seems... out of place in a discussion about peta-scale storage. I got the strong impression he doesn't really know the finer details of how S3 really works. And that's probably fine for what he's doing, there is plenty of room for application coding, firefighting, and problem management without having to get into the finer details of how it all works.
