Pragmatic Programming Techniques: NOSQL Patterns
Over the last couple years, we see an emerging data storage mechanism for storing large scale of data. These storage solution differs quite significantly with the RDBMS model and is also known as the NOSQL. The aim of this blog is to extract the underlying technologies that these solutions have in common, and get a deeper understanding on the implication to your application's design.
Needle in a haystack: efficient storage of billions of photos | Facebook
The Photos application is one of Facebook’s most popular features. Up to date, users have uploaded over 15 billion photos which makes Facebook the biggest photo sharing website. For each uploaded photo, Facebook generates and stores four images of different sizes, which translates to a total of 60 billion images and 1.5PB of storage. The current growth rate is 220 million new photos per week, which translates to 25TB of additional storage consumed weekly. At the peak there are 550,000 images served per second. These numbers pose a significant challenge for the Facebook photo storage infrastructure.
realstorage - Project Hosting on Google Code
realStorage is meant to create a consistent API for the W3C Web Storage key/value store specification (i.e. work around browser bugs). It also adds some convenience functions to help flesh out the localStorage key/value API. And when Web Storage is not available, a Gears fallback is provided.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Droid Limited to 256 MB of Storage for Apps
Did Motorola even look at the size of popular apps in the App Store before releasing this?
Ce n'est pas parce que Xcode génère des applications de tailles monstrueuses que le monde entier est devenu subitement ignorant de la bonne utilisation des ressources d'un matériel informatique (même si de ce point de vue là Adobe et son Flash nous refait le coup du joueur de flûte de Hamelin).
About Us
Rebecca Duclos and David K. Ross have engaged in a multi-disciplinary, research and site-based practice since 1998. Their work is primarily characterized by its investigations into the literal and metaphorical aspects of storage, the construction of social and manufactured spaces, and the inscription/invention of histories, both written and illustrated.
Their collaborative and individual interests have included architectural propositions, photographic and digital video projects, and critical writing. Duclos and Ross consider all aspects of their projects—from pure research, to the rejuvenation of found materials and overlooked histories, to collaborations with other artists, students and designers—as critical to their work.
