this came up recently. most people in real life have more than one social network/graph. facebook needs to support this at some point (ie. work, family, friends, ex-girlfriends, f buddies, etc.)

To say 'preferred NoSQL' is far too generic, it is as if users have an option between SQL or NoSQL. I would say that MongoDB is becoming the preferred document-based data store - but that has nothing to do with key value, graph, column-orie

Sounds like 3 people (ie. your entire company) were distracted for an entire 24 hours over 30k hits to a blog. And then you lost another 24 hours writing the followup post.. You gotta knock these blog posts out when you have time and just k

I can confirm this. We have been using Wave with Apps since just after Wave launched. It took off internally for a while and then petered out, but it is definitely there. To get it, go to: http://wave.google.com/a/myappsdomain.com

* That point about performance was more about FreeBSD being first with a lot of performance and security improvements. As I said, this argument was a lot easier 5-10 years ago but doesn't apply as much anymore. * The Mono vs Micro kernel de

You are correct. It would be more accurate to say 'remote attack' with an up-to-date stable release. The point could be scaled back to say that FreeBSD has undergone extensive peer-review and security auditing to the point that the stable b

I can give you a horrible APPL-related investment. I bought AAPL in '02 when it was $12-13 and sold 6 months later because I needed the funds. Purchased a hedged position via a CFD, was worth $400k, which would be worth $10M+ today Lesson:
