http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb I read this and decided to upgrade the RAM on my macbook - late 2008 model -macbook 5,1. I first searched for the correct RAM online and saw this: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3 This is memory it recommends: 8.0GB  OWC Memory Upgrade 2 x 4.0GB PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz 204 Pin Now, this costs $89.88. I hate buying stuff online and I want to see it for myself, so I went to the local bestbuy which was having a $55 promo offer on the 8GB RAM kit with the following specs: PC3-10666 DDR3 RAM with both 1066 and 1333MHz support. I was not sure whether this was compatible, so I went to geek squad and double checked that it was ok. I opened my macbook and upgraded my RAM which was easy and saw huge amount of dust inside which I thoroughly cleaned... Then, I booted up and my macbook now runs as fast as a new macbook! I mean, this is 2X the speed it w...

One of the problems in dealing with any cloud platform is that we need to minimize the costs when nobody is using the service while when more users come in, it should scale as much as needed. When you have lot of money then it is easy to simply throw money at the problem so that even when nobody is using the service it runs say 2 small or 2 medium roles. Sometimes we can try to justify this saying that the application really needs 2 small roles just for something like caching. It all adds up quickly when the main app needs another 2 roles and a service is another 2 roles. I have gone from using 5 roles to just 3 roles at steady state. And I get better performance also. I am currently using 2 co-located roles which have caching + web. This makes the web role faster because the cache is in its own memory. This is faster than using dedicated roles and even trying local cache along with it. The slowest is shared caching where they provide the service. This is followed by dedicate...
