Gee Adobe's not likely to be happy about that?
If they merged would they call it "Goober"?

And now henceforth in my head Google and Adobe are one company and its name is Goober.

I was happy to read that it would be based on Foxit's code base, which is much better than Adobe's IMO. At least this way they won't be open sourcing all of the bugs in Acrobat.

Indeed - and I've pretty much talked my employer into buying the FoxIt PDF SDK anyway...

OTOH if they were really interested in minimizing the exploit surface from pdfs, they'd just use Mozilla's pdf.js library. All javascript, so adding it doesn't add anything beyond the browsers existing attack surface. It's good enough for normal sized PDFs; although for multi-hundred page manuals I still prefer a stand alone reader.

According to Evans Data's recently released Developer Population and Demographics Study, of the 19 million software developers in the world, 8.7 million are now writing apps targeted for mobile devices. Do you think that maybe many of them are doing some other development in addition to mobile?

On the heels of our recent foray into predictions, where we forecasted which contestants were most likely to get voted off or win The Voice, Dancing With the Stars, and American Idol, we are taking the experiment a step further applying it to the World Cup. Starting today, if you search for “World Cup”, “Predictions”, or any matches (both preliminary as well as later in the single elimination rounds) we will display the chances of each respective team to win. Chance of England win: 0 results found

The engineer is wrong. We've already got enough server side languages to scratch anyone's preferences no matter how bizarre; and on the client side as long as everything still compiles down to html/css/javascript it's impossible for the situation to get any better.

That's almost right - I do not know of any "viable" language for web programming, all are bad.

If Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard are spinning in their graves, they may be due for a break. Their namesake company is cooking up some awfully ambitious industrial-strength computing technology that, if and when it’s released, could replace a data center’s worth of equipment with a single refrigerator-size machine. Call me when there's a price tag

Yeah, when the measurements are "a data center's worth" and "refrigerator-size" it's time to move on.

Computer rack (a refrigerator-sized machine) filled data-center room will be replaced by a refrigerator-sized machine filled room with much higher performance. I think it's usually called an upgrade.

Having read the article, what it is is HP's R&D doubling down on memristors; if they fulfill their promise of creating SSD non-volatile sized storage with DRAM speed, a dozens or hundreds to one condensation of IO bound servers is plausible. I suspect most applications would end up on the lower end of the range; the memristers might be 100x faster, but that much speedup would end up making lots of tasks that were IO bound become bottle necked on something else (compute, network, etc).
Edit: For reference, early SSDs were maybe 10x faster than HDDs in random IO (~2x as fast in sequential IO); and often generated 2-4:1 server count reductions for IO bound servers in data centers. Potential rackspace savings were often larger, since many of the servers targeted in early switchovers had very large disk arrays to boost IO parallelism (not capacity) as much as possible allowing a single SSD to replace 5 or 10 HDDs (the hdds only had tiny partitions to minimize seek time, leaving most of the drive empty). In practice, like with virtualization, they were often less as increased power density meant that the racks couldn't be fully packed without facility upgrades.
