Sure to add one to this. I curse the day i decided to deploy my application to GAE.Am on GAE coz of ODK aggreate but since am thinking of porting MySQL to ODK aggregate then i will say bye bye to GAE when i succeed. if you do Machine Learning, then GAE is bogus. GAE is only for simple stuff. These guyz are just lucky that when they came to my country, Uganda i didnt know otherwise i would have fired them serious questions. what i suggest is that google should define clear boundaries of GAE when talk to people.
