The iPhone Once Again Outsold All Verizon Android Phones *Combined* →

Los datos son los datos pero este señor es tan cansinooooooo…
Verizon sold 6.3 million smartphones last quarter. The quick breakdown using my math skills:
3.2 million iPhones.
3.1 million non-iPhones.
Android is still winning by some metric, I’m sure. Ridiculous phones sold with styluses, perhaps? Wait, no, that’s AT&T.
Also note that 3.2 million iPhones is a drop from the 4.3 million iPhones Verizon sold last quarter — which isn’t a surprise given that last quarter was the holiday quarter and the first quarter the iPhone 4S was on sale. These numbers seems in line my iPhone sales prediction.
But, as Eric Slivka notes, the iPhone 4S also went on sale in China and on China Telecom for the first time last quarter. This may offset the holiday drop-off in the U.S. We’ll find out next week.
I've just realised why I keep coughing, sleeping weird, having headaches and being a bit more irritable than normal.
I haven’t smoked for 6 days. The internet has told me that these are all withdrawal symptoms.
Fucking fabulous. Someone give me a fag!
CouchDB 1.2.0: Performance, Security, API, Core and Replication Improvements →

Tiene sentido o a CouchDB se le ha pasado el arroz?
CouchDB 1.2.0 was released on April 6th. The linked post provides all the details of the new version, but here are some important improvements included with the new release:
- Performance: added a native JSON parser
- Performance: optional file compression for database and view index files
- Performance: a new replicator implementation. More reliable, faster, configurable.
- Security: the
_usersdatabase and information in the_replicationdatabases are not longer readable by everyone- Core: added support for automatic compaction. Automatic compaction is off by default, but can be enabed through Futon or the
.inifile and configured to run based on multiple variables:
- A threshold for the file_size to disk_size ratio (say 70%)
- A time window specified in hours and minutes (e.g 01:00-05:00)
- Compaction can be cancelled if it exceeds the closing time.
- Compaction for views and databases can be set to run in parallel
- If there’s not enough space (2 × data_size) on the disk to complete a compaction, an error is logged and the compaction is not started.
