Hi guys I've been wondering where would be the best place to upload files such as photos, music, videos and etc? into the file system? or database? This pretty much answers my question but what do the wizards here in YC think? http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/10/15/binaries-belong-in-the-database-too http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/10/15/binaries-belong-in-the-database-too

Actually, many YC wizards disagree with that article in its entirety. In many cases, not only do binaries not belong in the database, nothing else does. In short: It depends on your application, and probably only you can know for sure (and then probably only with experimentation).
