No, the 1.0 vs. .08 is for the entire eight year period depicted, during most of which Node.js didn't even exist. What's relevant is the trend and how they compare right now -- RoR is going down, Node is going up, and Node is right now nearly as high as RoR. If you change it to show only the last 30 days, RoR is 1.0 and Node is .87 (i.e., RoR is getting only 15% more searches, not 12 times the searches).
