"IBM would never gouge its customers"Business relationships between vendor and customer are more like symbiosis than parasitism.
Hahahahahahaaaaa... Wow, that's really, really funny. You must have never even *seen* an IBM consultant. -Let's just say that their forthcoming aquisition of PWC's consultancy should not pose any significant corp. cultural integration issues.
IBM has a long history of locking their customers into unfavorable relationships. Have you ever heard of EBCDIC?
Besides, IBM is pushing virtual linux servers on mainframes. those servers could run MySQL as easily as anything else, so how is it they are not a potential competitor?

JavaScript WinsJavaScript will beat Java soon enough. For thin client stuff JavaScript is actually more powerful than Java. JavaScript's closest ancestor is CLOS or, if you prefer, Self while Java's closest ancestor is Objective-C. Programmers who prefer Perl5 or Python over Java should prefer JavaScript over Java -- especially if it is given an appropriate application framework, IDE and grammar-sensitive compression.

Re:This is not encryptionThe term you are describing is ste ganography.
As to whether this article describes encryption, it could be interpreted either way. I've looked up various definitions of encryption, and it looks like you could end up in a semantic mess of codes and symbols if you think about it too hard (after all, written language is just another code). It comes down to whether the intentions of the encoder count. If they do, it's not encryption, since encoding the message in DNA appears to be merely an expedient. If they don't, it is encryption, since this transformation of letters into DNA bases has the unintentional effect of making the message unreadable to a stranger (who somehow happens to bypass the steganography).
