   JavaScript is a trademark owned by Oracle. They got it when they bought Sun. I don't think that they can capitalize on that trademark now though.

    There's more to isomorphism than SEO; one code base that allows for both the initial html to be delivered without needing to run js and responsiveness of a client-side app is my favorite feature of isomorphic javascript apps.

    I visit reddit a lot. Besides the "You broke reddit" message mentioned by ColinCera there's a page with a blue background that says reddit is down. Pretty sure I saw it in this week if not the last 24 hours.

    Only problem I have with JSON on Postgres is you can't update a property of a JSON object like so: update table set jsonCol->propertyA = 42; You need to write an extension for that. Easiest to do so using Python but sadly H
