I’ve gotten into the (good) habit of checking LinkedIn a couple of times a day. I do a quick scan of my profile, groups and the headline news. It doesn’t take me but a minute (as my southern friends say), and I generally glean something useful from it. Time well spent. This week, a post ...

I read an article a few weeks ago in The Economist about test-tube data. It begins in a similar way to most stories we hear in the data and storage industry.
