Did you know that only two, maybe three of those datastores are any good? And did you know that of those three, they're not designed for every workload?

Right, we should all be so grateful to Google that they're paying any taxes at all. Thank you, Google, for the 2.4%! Thank you! In return, let's have all the corporate-friendly policies that the government funds be paid for by individual
