Android & iPhone App Design: Is it twice the work?
http://johnnyholland.org/2010/09/06/android-iphone-app-design-is-it-twice-the-work/
So we’re back to the dilemma: do designers have to do twice the work to create native apps for the iPhone and Android? Based on my recent analysis, I came to this conclusion: the app definition and concept phases would be very similar regardless of platform, but the app refinement and production phases would require adaptions to create full-fledged native apps for each platform.

DBMS Musings: The problems with ACID, and how to fix them without going NoSQL
http://dbmsmusings.blogspot.com/2010/08/problems-with-acid-and-how-to-fix-them.html
Our objective in this post is to explain why ACID is hard to scale. At the same time, we argue that NoSQL/NoACID is the lazy way around these difficulties---it would be better if the particular problems that make ACID hard to scale could be overcome. This is obviously a hard problem, but we have a few new ideas about where to begin.
The full paper is here:
