Welcome to Apache Hadoop!
The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-avaiability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-availabile service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures. A wide variety of companies and organizations use Hadoop for both research and production.

The Unprecedented Rise of Apple iOS and Other Internet Trends [STATS]
Legendary Internet analyst Mary Meeker has some statistics she thinks every Internet executive should know, including that iOS is growing faster than almost any other Internet technology in history. At the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, the Morgan Stanley analyst led a rapid-pace presentation on the state of the Internet industry, revealing the state of mobile ( Apple and Google are winning), the most under-monetized asset in online advertising ( Facebook ) and even the secret sauce of Steve Jobs (he has the mind of an engineer and the heart of an artist). The average CPM for social networking sites is at only $0.55. Meeker thinks this will increase and normalize in the next few years. She also believes that inventory on Facebook is one of the most under-monetized assets on the web. It took e-commerce 15 years to get to 5% of retail.20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web

WordPress 3.0 was released a little over a month ago, ushering in a bevy of new features for designers and developers. Just last week, WordPress 3.0.1 was released, fixing a few minor bugs and making some other less visible tweaks.
