After programming in both, it seems to me that php serves the utility of both servlets and jsp pages.
For instance, you can have the target of a form request be a handler php page that has nothing but php; it could modify user state and redirect back to the original page which is then regenerated based on the updated state.

Haven't we been over this before? Is google really likely to try and make some network operating system that would serve as a complete replacement to anything but a stripped down local one? I really doubt it. No matter what the bandwidth, many applications (notably graphical ones) won't run well over the internet; it just can't be as fast as running locally. Isn't that why picassa is a local application?
And the reason they hire OS and distributed system people is because they need to innovate to get their own kick-ass infrastructure running on low cost commodity hardware, the Google File System, and map/reduce being some of the innovations publicly known.
I dunno, someone posted before a link to a blog entry that succinctly made this point better than I am right now; I would link to that if I could remember where it was...

to clarify, we have 3 xserves connected to 3 xserve-RAID racks.

at work (University research lab), we set up 3 xserves in conjunction with some disk arrays to give us 15 TB of whoop-ass raid storage. We've only had em' up for a couple of weeks, but so far so good.
The colleague of mine who pushed for it does have a mac, so the seemless management from the mac I'm sure played a big role.

My coworker is doing some of his own investigations into this stuff. He hooked up a freshly installed, but unpatched, windows2000 box to the net with a freebsd box in between to monitor traffic. Within minutes it was infected, and we could see IRC traffic: connecting to a hidden channel to await instructions.
Not that I'm that outraged that an old unpatched windows 2000 box is vulnerable; it's just amazing how quickly a worm will get you if you are vulnerable!

I hadn't ever done any web programming before purchasing this book (about 2 months ago), but had plenty of experience with C++ and OO design. This book was perfect for me; it showed me how to do all the OO stuff I wanted to in PHP, and gave enough information about using sessions, post and get data etc to get started. After a week of tinkering I was off to the races!
That said, I don't think this book would really do a good job showing someone how to use the OO features effectively who had never been exposed to it before, and that's probably fine. Just don't expect its half ass coverage of design patterns to give you a whole lot if you haven't scene them before.
