Oracle Beware — Google Tests Cloud-Based Database

narramissic writes "On Tuesday, the same day Google held a press event to launch its Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook, the company quietly announced in its research team blog a new online database called Fusion Tables. Under the hood of Fusion Tables is data-spaces technology, which would 'allow Google to add to the conventional two-dimensional database tables a third coordinate with elements like product reviews, blog posts, Twitter messages and the like, as well as a fourth dimension of real-time updates,' according to Stephen E. Arnold, a technology and financial analyst. 'So now we have an n-cube, a four-dimensional space, and in that space we can now do new kinds of queries which create new kinds of products and new market opportunities,' said Arnold, whose research about this topic includes a study done for IDC last August. 'If you're IBM, Microsoft and Oracle, your worst nightmare is now visible.'"

Steve Jobs' reaction to the news:

[Anonymous Coward]

I'm infected with AIDS,
I fuck every day,
I kill everything I fuck!

I fill you up with my disease,
Contaminate you with deadly needs,
My loaded cock is like a gun,
I'm a walking time bomb killing everyone,

Let me be your stiff hard fuck,
Cram your cunt with poisonous cock,
Your hairy cunt will be my aim,
Deadly penetration is my game,

Drenched in my fluids you'll never know,
I plant the seed of death untold,
Before I die, I hope I do,
Kill many more, as I've killed you!

-- Steve Jobs
