New Groovy Cozies up to Java, SQL

,----[ Quote ]
| Last month, SpringSource, a division of 
| VMware, and the community of volunteer 
| developers behind Groovy released a new 
| version of the dynamically compiled 
| language. The new features include some 
| old Java functionality that may help Java 
| programmers work more easily with Groovy. 
| It also includes some additions that ease 
| the burden of working with SQL-based 
| databases.

Has Cloud Computing Jumped the Shark? 

,----[ Quote ]
| Leading the pushback is skeptic Larry 
| Ellison, Oracle CEO, who Barron's quotes 
| as unloading this torrent of sarcasm in an 
| analyst's meeting: Cloud computing "is the 
| future of all computing, but more 
| impressively, it is the present of all 
| computing and the past of all 
| computing...Everything is cloud 
| computing." 
| 
| Wow, and I thought I was smart-aleck. 
| 
| Alas, now even Oracle is making joyful 
| noises about the cloud. The database titan 
| touts its Cloud Computing Center and has 
| launched a new, semi-comprehensible 
| acronym: OaaS, Oracle as a Service. 
| (Seriously? OaaS? Someone suggested that 
| in a meeting, and no one giggled?)

5 Common Questions About Hadoop

,----[ Quote ]
| Thereâs been a lot of buzz about Hadoop lately. Just the other day, some of
| our friends at Yahoo! reclaimed the terasort record from Google using Hadoop,
| and the folks at Facebook let on that they ingest 15 terabytes a day into
| their 2.5 petabyte Hadoop-powered data warehouse.
|
| [...]
|
| Hadoop uses commodity hardware, so every month, your costs decrease or
| provide more capacity for the same price point. You probably have a vendor
| you like, and they probably sell a dual quad-core (8 cores total) machine
| with 4 1TB SATA disks (you specifically donât want RAID).

The dawn of a new Cloudera

,----[ Quote ]
| Given the current economic outlook itâs great to see a new open source
| start-up rearing its head, and the list of founders indicates that this one
| has a good chance of survival. While VentureBeat is focused on the fact that
| Ex-Google, Yahoo, and Facebook employees are on the team, my eye was caught
| by the fact that Mike Oslon, Sleepycat Software founder and former CEO has
| been tempted out of semi-retirement.
