Thanks for pointing to the blog. However, the blog just says that it scales well, doesn't actually try to prove or show that it is indeed a myth. Of course, there has to be some state but shouldn't that be kept to a minimum? For example, in a standard shopping cart kind of application, you can have the cart items in the session. But to keep search results in the session? May be I am wrong, but it just seems too much. The comments on the blogs also don't seem too encouraging.
