Exadata and Oracle Database Appliance
It's an appliance, it's just been announced, and, this is not an icebox or a dishwasher by any measure of the term. The postings are starting to circulate on the blogosphere. Here is one from Amis Technology: Oracle Database Appliance – mid market Exadata in a scalable (license) model.
Bringing us some stealthy things about Exadata storage (stealthiness being a standard over at Oracle-Ninja.com) is this posting: Exadata Storage on Demand.

Technology News
This is some exciting technical news over at International Business News. I have long
looked forward to the day when gaming can be harnessed to accomplish tasks in
technology. In fact I'd like to see something like a version of Sim City
connected to an RDBMS. Okay, I admit that I found Farmville extremely annoying, but if people were paying small amounts of real money for gamers to carefully keep storage configured on a growing system, for instance, or respond to complex deadlocks on an application that would appear in the form of a puzzle in the metaverse, I think it would have both IT and business potential. The various tasks of the game are translated into a real
world application. Online Gamers Solve AIDS Puzzle that Eluded Scientists
