A seriously loony "Hadoop is evil" article
"Netflix, Facebook - and the NSA: They're all in it together"
http://j.mp/179OqbS (Salon)
On June 9, the Wall Street Journal reported that for the last few
years the National Security Agency has been relying on a software
program "with the quirky name Hadoop" to help it make sense of its
enormous collections of data. Named after a toy elephant that belonged
to the child of one of the original developers of the program,
"Hadoop," reported the Journal, is a crucial part of "a computing and
software revolution a piece of free software that lets users
distribute big-data projects across hundreds or thousands of
computers."

Oh brother, this "Hadoop is evil" article -- even in a week of loony
articles -- is in the running for the looniest.
