Death of the database [100-word Version] (9) share digg
by Paul Boutin (216) on Valleywag (1135) 1 week, 1 day ago permalink
PBS pundit Robert X. Cringely says he realized at last week's MIT Technology Review conference that cloud computing means, in short, "No database." Cringely sees it as the end of Oracle's dominance of information technology. I expect Oracle Cloud any day now. Here's a summary of Cringely's long article, plus the joke about Ellison's sex life, minus Cringely's references to himself: Thanks in part to Larry Ellison's hard work and rapacious libido, databases are to ...

Criminal Uses Craigslist to Escape From Armored Truck Robbery [Craiglist] (17) share digg

A bank robber got away with a bag full of mucho money from an armored truck after successfully pulling out a perfect escape plan, straight out the final scene of the Thomas Crown Affair. The criminal—who was wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask and a blue shirt—used Craigslist to hire a dozen of decoys to confuse the police and the public around the scene. Mike, one of the hired decoys, gave the ...

Guinness-Record Movie Marathon Starts Now, Ends When Everyone's Asleep [Guinness World Records] (3) share digg

Today in a glass-walled room in New York's Time Square, Netflix gathered six of the world's brightest talents in the field of sitting on ass and watching movies. The goal was to break the current Guinness continuous-movie-watching world record of 120 hours 23 minutes. They can eat, drink and stretch as long as they don't take their eyes off the screen, and there's a 10-min potty break between features, but other than that, it's about ...

Perpetual multivote for pull scheduling (2) share digg
by Corey Ladas (7) on Lean Software Engineering (7) 1 week, 5 days ago permalink
If we’re going to schedule one work item at a time, then we have to have a reliable method of picking the next item. This is not so much a prioritization problem as it is a filtering problem. We don’t care about the 30th priority feature. We only care about the 1st priority feature. That should make it more a matter of eliminating things we’re not going to do now, rather than sorting things that ...

I Played Portal on a 150-Inch Plasma HDTV and You Didn't [What Financial Crisis?] (17) share digg
by Adam Frucci (616) on Gizmodo: Top (104) 1 week, 5 days ago permalink
On Friday, Mahoney and I went to Panasonic HQ to check out one of the first prototypes of their ludicrous 150-inch plasma TV. This thing puts the 103-incher that I checked out last year to shame, weighing a whopping 1700 pounds before the stand is attached and sucking up 7kW of power while it runs. We hooked up our energy-efficient-in-comparison PS3 and suffered through playing a bunch of video games on it to report back ...

Reader Pierre is a small business owner who has an American Express Business Account that used to have a $25,000 limit, but has now been cut to $1,800. He says his company's bill is usually around $12,000 a month, and it is always paid in full — on time.

Seriously. His name is Yves Rossy and he’s a Swiss airline pilot by day and adventurer by night. The 22-mile flight took him only 10 minutes and he had hoped to reach 125 MPH. He started by jumping out of a small, French plane and quickly flipped on the jet pack.

According to ZDNet, Apple is reducing production of the iPhone by 4 million units for the remainder of the year. Is this because of the launch of the G1 Android based phone, the state of the economy or perhaps just a miscalculation by Apple? You decide.
