s3 is primarily geared towards file storage, so probably a good choice for hosting static files, images and CSSs. but what about relational data - hosting real databases. There is no persistent storage in ec2, making any virtual server setup extremely unreliable.
That said, s3 makes sense for dumping things like tier-3 data backups.
All. Sure, the new Zune is more of a half step forward than a completely new design. But Microsoft's done something fantastic here by rewarding first gen buyers with cool new stuff that also happens to be free by software upgrade. And talk about spin-- Microsoft just took a middling jump in hardware and turned it into a genuinely good move for loyalists (as well as a PR miracle). Are you paying attention Apple?
The recommended replacement AJAX api not only has limited applications, but also it promises to show google ads beside the results.
Not that Google Search API has ever been very stable - it probably works only 80% of the time. Now even the support has been dropped and usage samples along with FAQ have been removed for SOAP api.
"...was stolen from an employee's car earlier this month"
Seriously, who carries around a Laptop with "Personal Information" of 382 Gazillion living, dead and zombie employees in a fscking Laptop and leaves it in a car unattended.
You would think they would store this information in a so-called safe server somewhere and have policies on not taking them around in Laptops. Why would you need that information on a laptop anyway ? For fsck sake - We're talking about serious personal information!
I say hire stewie to shoot this guy.
In other news - why no mention of India in this whole game of data theft ?
There's a difference between *feeling* you're more productive - than actually *being* productive - pun unintentional. You know - the age-old argument between working harder vs working smarter.

"AOL is using file-sharing technology from Kontiki, a Silicon Valley company providing a similar system to the ambitious Internet video program of the BBC."
Thomas Hesse, President of Sony BMG's global digital business division, showed up on NPR to try and sweep the entire thing under the rug.
"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it," he asked? "The software is designed to protect our CDs from unauthorized copying, ripping."
There was a recent article on the same topic in SF chronicle.
One of the compelling argument was "If the Chinese custom is to make children work or to kill women, you wouldn't do it," said Julien Pain, head of the Internet Freedom Desk at Reporters Without Borders.
This vulnerability aside, the point is that there is an entire business-ecosystem thriving on these sort of flaws. first disclose a flaw, then sell a solution. one of those dumbest things. If eEye discloses the exploit, there'll be alternatives available. Its not just MS's interest to keep it under wraps, but eEye's too.

I've downloaded it as recently as 2 months back, and found it gone yesterday. The download page at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/mxj/ is empty and mxj connector is no longer listed under connectors - http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/. SQLite aside, MXJ was the easiest way to embed a MySQL database in your (Java) package.
What was the tweet that did it?

Mail trends, written by Mihai Parparita (a Google engineer) does something similar and has been there for quite sometime.

I wonder where should the line be drawn.
what about splogs(spam blogs). Blogspot represents a pretty reasonable sample of blogs. this random analysis puts splogs at 42% for blogger.com blogs.
