How is MongoDB going to push MySQL out of the way? At first I thought it was going to happen slowly, but then I watch as some big names keep showing up on the MongoDB's production deployment site and it may happen a lot sooner than I thought. Once you see a major CMS like Wordpress or Drupal port to MongoDB then it is all over. I use Wordpress and Drupal as examples because they are a couple of the most visible MySQL based app out there right now, but a new comer could easily come in a generate big time buzz. Keep an eye out for Quicklogs as one of those.

After more than 20 years the era of MS Paint will come to an end. The new up and comer: Project Gustav. Project Gustav will attempt to end MS Paints strangle hold on the 256 color free form drawing platform. My biggest worry is how am I now going to view a fax from MS Fax. What is next updating Mine Sweeper?
My guess is MS will decide on a final name like Paint twenty-ten, because Gustav is to catch as a product name. Check out more on Gustav on current home in the MS research website http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/gustav/default.aspx

Like many I was punked by the recent "availability" Of the Google Chrome OS. Being a busy bee I never had a chance to install it. I had picked up the link for Gizmodo, believing they were a creditable enough source, having found a recent release of the Chrome Browser for the Mac OS through them. Having visited the website I did joked on how lame the screenshots were, which should have sent up red flags. The cleaver part of this scam: the fake site was hosted on google sites. This put google in the url giving the whole scam a bit more legitimacy. Having no desire now to install the fake iso or vm's, and possible infecting my network with a spam bot. I am not going to find out what was in the packages from the fake Chrome site. Google has since disable the fake site on Google sites for violation of terms of service.
