Umm... Instead of proceeding to rewrite the app and author this blog, the author could have realized that JavaScript (or Scala, Java, Python etc.) could realistically be faster than C and should have explained the same to his/her boss.

Hidden "Drop Box" feature in Mac OS X Lion lets you sync files across Macs 15 years ago

Why is this Mac specific? This is exactly the sort of feature that must be cross platform.

Does Apple really think it will have a monopoly in the years ahead?

Nodejs and MongoDB, A Beginner's Approach 15 years ago

To be honest, a good attempt by the author but I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner. Why? I don't recommend the use of the native driver - you end up with needlessly complex code.

I don't want to criticize the authors work. He's done a pretty good and thorough job. Hopefully I'll pen down an easier guide later tonight.
