They have 175 employees, so it's not too surprising they blew through $85 million in 8 months.

85000000/175=485714, that's actually quite surprising unless the averge flickr employee grosses more than 50 K per month.

$85 million is a lot of cash.

Shouldn't that be /8? So around 6k per month.

You're off by one decimal place.
