The guy in the article does have some cred. He was a professor at UC Berkeley for 29 years where he was project leader on Ingres and led the creation of its follow up, Postgres.
His new database, VoltDB, based on the 'NewSQL' ideas touched on in the article, is Free Software licensed under the GPLv3.
Tablets would be nice if you could attach a keyboard and mouse and had some sort of stand to place them vertically.

Mathematics is the language of science. (all science)
As someone who has studied mathematics and philosophy of mathematics at a university level I call bullshit on this statement. And you make the argument, I suspect, because your understanding of what is science is too limited and blinkered by seeing it through a mathematical perspective.
The idea that occurred to me while reading the summary is maybe this partially explains the sense of well-being gained from being in a forest or some leafy natural environment.
As we know, most plants taste bitter - perhaps plants are also releasing bitter tasting gasses which help to open up our lungs.
I'm also an agnostic on the subject of God, but on the subject of Jesus I'm a non-believer. There's no historical evidence he even lived in the first place, let alone came back to life. It's mythology people, you're not meant to believe it actually happened.
Why not go back to a known historical event? There are some great ones to witness. Instead you'll be sitting on a cold Palestinian hillside and seeing absolutely nothing. What a waste.

This is a common excuse made for all sorts of behaviour. It is still the researchers doing the publishing, regardless of whether or not they are in an environment that pushes them to publish. If you can see the immorality of an action you should not do it. Thus this is precisely a problem with the integrity of researchers in succumbing to the 'publish or perish' pressure.

Why did the submitter see fit to link to coverage on Fox 'News'. I feel dirty now after clicking on the link.
Google News shows that this story is getting coverage on many other, much more reputable, news websites.
