Okay, Victoria Beckham, we get it—you're a busy woman. You have  your fashion line , four kids to run after,  treadmill desks to conquer , and a  shirtless husband  to tend to. Sure, the mogul  admitted just recently  that singing is not her forte, but for those of us whose adolescence coincided with the '90s, she was Posh Spice before  she was "Victoria Beckham." Which is why we were kind of devastated to hear the news that Beckham has "given her blessing" to the other four Spice Girls to do something without her, according to Melanie Chisholm (aka Mel C aka Sporty Spice).

Along with a paper published by Amazon about its own adventures in data storage, the Big Table concept spawned dozens of open source imitators. These “NoSQL” databases play a big role inside the biggest names of on the web and beyond, including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, as well as Google. But the need for old-fashioned relational databases never went away. To this day, all the big web companies still depend on the  open source database  MyS...
