I stopped reading where it says that SVM is used for big data. SVM can only process about 10000 examples.

Then you ignored all the inaccuracies before that sentence, and all of the insights after it.
Have you ever trained an SVM? Because 10000 examples is a laughably small dataset. It's not a problem for modern implementations.
Linear SVMs can be trained on millions of examples.
