The way that big data gets big is through a constant stream of incoming data. In high-volume environments, that data arrives at incredible rates, yet still needs to be analyzed and stored.

John Hugg, software architect at VoltDB, proposes that instead of simply storing that data to be analyzed later, perhaps we've reached the point where it can be analyzed as it's ingested while still maintaining extremely high intake rates using tools such as Apache Kafka.

Fighting has erupted between Netflix and Verizon over who bears responsibility for the low quality of service some Netflix subscribers purportedly experience on Verizon's FiOS broadband service. The angry banter escalated sharply on Thursday when Verizon sent Netflix a letter threatening legal action if the video-streaming company doesn't stop talking smack about Verizon.

Wade Sendall, vice president of IT at The Boston Globe, had to build an application that would allow both employees and customers to add their photos to advertisements.
