Q&A:

Audience Question

• Q: Off topic: Has their been any reports of issues with Yosemite and virtual machines (VMWare)? I am planning on updating my OS X this weekend.
• A: I know Parallels has released an update to work with Yosemite. It is pretty common that you need a new version to support a new OS. I’d check with VMWare to see if they have an update or what they recommend. I haven’t updated yet because I’ve been so busy with CodeRage and everything, but plan to upgrade both Parallels and OS X next week.

Audience Question

• Q: just changed

Audience Question

• Q: if i need to database 1 million news stories aday and proive a search functionality on headlines and story bodies where you can do word seach or phrase search for over 100 people, is interbase a good solution or is a noSQL better?
