I can attest that the methodology really does work - at least for my son. I bought it when he turned 6 and he was able to learn with just a tiny help from me. Thanks for building a great learning experience!

This is on 7.0.2 on an iPhone 4s. Crashes Safari reliably 4 times in a row. Maybe it's just my bad luck. Anyway, looking at it on my laptop now. It looks great!

It doesn't mention which version of PostgreSql. I hope it is 9.3. It's got to be at least 9.2 since it supports the Json datatype.

This does bode well for sites like AngiesList.com which charge a small membership fee (to end users), don't allow anonymous reviews, and allow businesses to respond publicly to individual review's. (I work for Angie's List)

This article seems to misinterpret scale-up vs. scale-out. >Yahoo and Facebook are excellent examples of how Hadoop can scale up; but little is usually said about how Hadoop can scale the other way.. It says this right after mentioning

They are NOT asking the Webkit project to add Dart. They want to get a pluggable VM system into Webkit. Then once that is in place, Google would not need to fork Webkit to get Dart into Chrome. And any other vendor that wants to be able to
