Thank you - I couldn't say this better myself. You have captured the essence of a problem with Google - trust. After GAE and treatment of "non-essential" products under Larry, I have lost the trust in Google as a reliable business partner,

Redshift is based on ParAccel, not on Postgres. ParAccel uses APIs similar to Postgres due to historical reasons, but not the technology. For a basic overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraccel As for the rest of the article, it feels

Nice idea. I've gone through their website and even watched the explanation video. One thing they don't mention is how buyers come into possession of bitcoins. Buying bitcoins is currently a hassle for an average consumer and has transactio

LinkedIn and hammers have one thing in common: they are tools to get something else done, they are not the end game. In that they are similar, in everything else they are not. This commonality (both being tools) is crucial to the reason tha

Oh boy. When has it become fashionable to quite X and announce it to the whole world? LinkedIn is just a tool - it's usefulness depends on what your current needs are. It's useless today and useful tomorrow. Just like any other tool - i.e.

Vertica is a great product, probably the only thing I like about HP at the moment.

Razor is actually quite impressive - I've made it the default SQL client tool for the team. It works on Windows, OS X and Linux, connects to almost any RDBMS in existence, easily customizable and has tabbed results interface in addition to

I was replying Daeken's comment on why $300 seems to be a high number. This number is not representative of average spent by a majority of users but that's what most people assume when they hear "average $300 of monthly revenue per user". F

It's the latter. A small number of big spenders ("whales" in the industry lingo) can easily skew average number. Median is a better metric than average here.

I actually removed LinkedIn app from my Android phone. I don't understand why a glorified web page viewer needs to be able to manage accounts on my phone? In light of this, sharing my calendar details (and probably more) does not surprise m

You might want to check out TinyCore Lunux. In 10Mb ISO you get a functional image with GUI and thousands of apps in the repository including Chromium and Firefox that can run in as little as 39mb of RAM. I run multiple TinyCore VMs in Virt

TL:DR: Paul mourns " a not-too-distant past where technology entrepreneurs created things to make the world a better or more interesting place, not just because they wanted to make a billion dollars." And this is in the past because: "To

Quite disappointed that Google has blocked release of Paul's book, even post G+ release. I guess "don't be evil" does not apply to this case in the house of Google. Sad.

Agreed, very bad choice of words. Even if the original message did not have all this nonsense, it was likely edited by PR flacks for a "positive" spin. That's one industry (PR) ready for some refreshing new approaches...

I'd love to see you it too, but it's pretty much guaranteed failure - both critical and commercial. It would take a genius to make Snow Crash look good and make sense on film...
