Oracle 10G Oracle will soon be releasing their new DB, and boy oh boy, are IT shops in for a load of change. To start with, the database has been optimized for grid computing - the term used to describe parallel, distributed and dynamic sharing, selection and aggregation of geographically distributed, autonomous data sources (where geographic can be vast distances or the database in the box a few feet away). 10G will also host a web development environment to allow ease of application development. It will contain both the repository to hold metadata and the engine that renders and process the code. For those who are greeting this as a big wow, be aware that Domino has had this for quite some time now - though the Domino database is architected in a completely different way. Clearly Oracle is out to milk the mid-market playing field with 10G, and naturally, Oracle will be going around touting their new inventions: grid computing and html databases.

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
