A couple quick links worth sharing. First is an article in BusinessWeek discussing in part how Hadoop is entering the classroom, in Wisdom of Clouds. Second, Communications of the ACM has a brief perspective on MapReduce, in The Data Center Is The Computer.
Btw, I'm excited about the proposed changes to CACM outlined by the new Editor in Chief. I was honestly considering not renewing my membership in part because I haven't hardly seen a relevant or interesting article in CACM in a significant time.
The CACM is dead, long live the CACM. For now...

Another interesting article on Wired, Terrifying Future of Computing.

More interesting news. Seems Google processes over 20 petabytes of data per day, using their MapReduce and GFS infrastructure.
