It looks like my post about MongoDB got a lot more popular than usual, and also provoked a sort-of official response from the MongoDB developer(s). It is fair to metion them together to allow people finding one part of the story to find the other. Since my original post talks about multiple issues and the comments wander through various topics I want to summarize the part of the discussion about durability here.

)
Update: Here is a funny talk about NOSQL.
