Motorola Droid Review By Engadget →
…when you couple the revamped OS, Verizon’s killer network, and an industrial design straight from a gadget enthusiast’s fever-dream, it makes for a powerful concoction. Ultimately, the DROID won’t usurp the iPhone from the public’s collective mindshare or convince casual users that they must switch to Android, but it will make a lot of serious geeks seriously happy...

SimpleDB gotcha
dailyawswtf: While carefully reading through the AWS Customer Agreement we found this interesting paragraph: 5.8.2 […] We may delete, without liability of any kind, any of your Amazon SimpleDB Content that has not been accessed in the previous 6 months. Aua! While SimpleDB keeps surprising us, for our EC2 cluster management platform Scalarium we switched to CouchDB and Redis some time ago....

Wall Street's Naked Swindle by Matt Taibbi of... →
It would be an easy matter for the SEC to determine who killed Bear and Lehman, if it wanted to — all it has to do is look at the trading data maintained by the stock exchanges. But 18 months after the widespread market manipulation, the federal government’s cop on the financial beat has barely lifted a finger to solve the two biggest murders in Wall Street history. The SEC refuses to...

Databases Should be Dynamically Typed
mongodb: Software developers often debate the pros and cons of static versus dynamic typing in programming languages.  Yet what about databases? Of course, static typing is traditional for databases.  In a relational database we usual declare our columns and the datatype of each column’s values. However, we now see in the nosql space what are known as “schemaless” databases. Technically these...

Matt Taibbi on Capitalism: A Love Story →
It’s natural for Michael Moore to behave like someone who thinks he’s taking on the world alone. Because he is, sort of. If we want him to stop behaving like this, it’s kind of on us to do something about it. At some point we’re going to have to make a commitment to giving up our escapist entertainments for a while while we fix our actual lives. I’m as guilty as everyone else, spending half my...
