Of course, that number is dwarfed by the number of chat programs Google has cancelled.

After being accused of sharing users' searches with third-party websites, Google agrees to pay up, despite denying culpability. You may be able to cash in. "Think I'll buy me a football team"
"If you used Google Search or clicked on a search link between October 25, 2006 and September 30, 2013, you are eligible for a share of the settlement by filing a claim before July 31. " <- I wonder just how many people on Earth aren't eligible.
"If your claim is approved, you can make approximately $7.70." <- I guess I won't be retiring on that windfall.

A survey of 90,000 developers shows that PostgreSQL is ahead of MySQL as the choice of database engine, a notable change from the same survey last year. Just in case you were in the market to SELECT a new db
"Since this is a developer survey, it does not reflect usage in production. DB-Engines maintains a rank based on general interest across the web which puts Oracle top, followed by MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL fourth. "

I haven't compared different database engines since a long time ago.
On my private machine, I still use an old MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition...
At my last workplace, it was mySQL - oh my, I would not like to use it again. The more I had to deal with it, the less functional it proved, even for simple CRUD stuff.
More than 10 years ago, I tested huge reporting queries in many different engines - Oracle and MS SQl Server were best, followed by postgres; mysql behaved worse than MS Access...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!
