Fast, in-memory data stores already exists with support and ease of use/deployment...I was able to set up hazelcast for my distributed cluster in minutes...I don't see the advantage of this over nosql or in-memory data storage.

Interesting questions brought up...can great tech entrepreneurs be bred? My opinion is no, mostly because it takes a significant amount of good luck and perfect timing to have great success in SV. Even if you were Mark Zuckerburgs son...he

I wouldn't be too surprised to see Facebook stock head down the same path. If Facebook was trading at the same P/E ratio as Google, the stock would be worth $8 a share.

In my experience as a CS student, the fist few classes you take teach you the basics of "computer programming"...aka you just write a lot of object oriented programs. Then as you move on to parallel programming, computer architecture, and o
