> Postgres is the nr 1 database in use > SAP's ERP system revenues will have dropped significantly

These seem linked to me, I can't imagine any of the recent startups in are using SAP/Oracle based solutions. Over time this is going to become an increasing problem for SAP and Oracle. All they can do is milk what they can from their dying client base, probably hastening the demise in the process.


> Hackernews color theme will change from orange to green

Apart from this one, I'm onboard with these. A change of colorscheme just seems too far-fetched.
