Well, at least he's not looking like a wannabe heart attack shouting "Karma! Karma! Karma!"
I suspect Nadella is about to experience his own "fate."

Yeah trusting in Karma and their own fate has worked real good for them so far.
I think his Karma might be close at hand?

Yeah just wonderfull. I am one of these women, who wont ask for a raise. I am fully aware that I get less than my colleagues who are men even if I do more work. For example the previous month my firm should've had a yearly employee revision where we get a small raise.Except that The Hr told me that I should get each 6 months of work a small raise. Well and what happened? This year we didn't have the annual employee revisions and 8 months passed since my last small raise. I will never go and ask for why, I will just find myself a new job for more money.

Microsoft researchers have figured out a new way to keep data and applications secure in the cloud, by cordoning them off in memory from the underlying infrastructure. Step 1: add sandbox, Step 2: remove sandbox for performance, Step 3: add sandbox

Isn't this what you call "write only memory" ? Of course it's secure. By cordoning it off, you can't access it (as in, duh, you need the underlying infrastructure to access the memory.)
I assume something got lost in the "translation".
They use a technique called “shielded execution,” which protects the program and associated data from the platform on which they run, including the cloud provider’s operating system, administrative software, firmware, and other software that supports the application.
I remember when I wanted to "shield" my data, I simply removed the floppy disk from the drive.

Technology may have made many tasks simpler, but it has also increased distractions and shepherded in more ways to procrastinate. You've probably noticed that while you can get many things done faster than ever, you spend a great deal of time doing nothing of worth. Just on the off chance you hadn't noticed

Nah, I was doing that before the Internet. The difference is, now I can blog about doing nothing of worth.

Luxury! This is written by a person who has never had to use the phone book section of the municipal library, or the Thomas Cook European rail timetables book.... that's how it were done when I were a lad, but you try telling the kids of today that and they won't believe you.

What worked in the past may not work in the present. That’s certainly true for how I, and many of my colleagues in the industry, have looked at databases. Schemas deemed harmful?

I guess his rant is better written than my one[^] but is in the same vein...
Although - can you imagine how bad things would have been if we'd only had (XML or JSON) files instead of RDBMS? oh.

"The key concept of Agile Big Data is viewing databases as real-time streams, utilizing dynamic views."
So it's Excel spreadsheets all the way, then, because real-time streams don't need data to be stored anywhere, do they now? And if you want a specific drop of water from an ocean, you just dip your finger in any wave.
The guy could give lessons in talking bollocks.
