    I remember seeing several videos from different companies with their own version of a "pizza robot". Just look at this ad for a pizza vending machine from 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyrav_9Pbsc

    You should certainly be able to use ArangoDB as a replacement for Cassandra or Neo4j. Check out the SQL / AQL comparison page to get a quick overview: https://www.arangodb.com/why-arangodb/sql-aql-comparison/

    I think the orkut dataset is already in a tab seperated format, to turn it into CSV you only need to add the column labels. http://snap.stanford.edu/data/com-Orkut.html For an example you can have a look at the import

    Looks really cool! How many points can one draw with this before it becomes too slow? I did a similar looking 3D globe animation with WebGL once and the total number of points was quite an issue http://jsfiddle.net/go2t1r4q&

    Thanks, just to clarify: the new version is still in the review process, the version in the AppStore only works with older Firefox versions. You will have to install this from source to get the latest version

    I think it's great that they are going to officially support iOS again. Coincidentally I submitted a new version of my own browser app to the AppStore, on the same day they made the announcement. I added support for the new Firfox sync
