based on a recent article on MySpace blaming the microsoft stack not being able to easily scale here.
Is this true? Is scaling an app built on the microsoft stack (asp.net mvc here) nearly impossible? does php/LAMP really scale better than microsoft?
Yes. The Microsoft stack can scale just fine.
You just have to have the right set of skills to do the job. Unfortunately MySpace didn't have the proper resources (or access to the proper resources because of physical location, according to their article) and they're blaming the technology stack.

I would like to know if anyone suggests developing a large scale website with ASP.Net MVC3.
By large scale i mean about 3000,000 requests per day.
That's not so much. We have a web site running on two servers handling about 8,000,000 requests each per day, and that doesn't even use 10% of the capacity.
So, yes, ASP.NET MVC certainly works for that scale of site.

I'm considering using Ember.js to develop my new websites.
I'm not sure how stable & how much it being used by the community for big projects.
Would you recommend using it?
Do you know big websites that are using it?
Thanks,
Lior
A simple googling would've given you these:
1: Quora: What are the advantages of using Ember.js?
2: Top 8 Best Looking SproutCore Websites (SproutCore 2.0 was recently renamed to Ember.js -- see Wikipedia)

What are some good resources for aspiring web designers? I've been a software developer and web app builder for nearly a decade but my UI skills are from an engineer's perspective. I appreciate quality design and great UX and I'd like to become a better designer myself, what are some good resources to get started with and/or follow (i.e. blogs, twitter accounts, etc)?
I'll start with a couple that I think are relevant:

Thanks in advance.

Is there a wiki engine that is similar to the one used on Google Code? I want to use that wiki with one of my websites.
Wikiwym: http://code.google.com/p/wikiwym/
A JavaScript-based parser for the Google Code wiki syntax. Implemented in JavaScript.
statwiki: http://code.google.com/p/statwiki/
(Which Silas Sewell mentioned.)
A static wiki engine whose syntax is also the same as Google Code. Implemented in python.
I wish there was a Scala or Java implementation too.
I think they developed it in house. You can host with them you know: http://code.google.com/hosting/
You could try Trac, which is what powers SourceForge: http://trac.edgewall.org/
