Busy week
This has been a really busy week. Moving to a new apartment. At home I only see boxes everywhere
Lot of news coming from the Java field. I am happy for what is happening with the Java world.
- The strategy for Solaris finally makes some sense: making it like Linux, but with its own strengths. Everyone will win here. (it will be GPL soon][1] ). The only looser will be Microsoft and whose can’t use GPL code. I am not sure if the strategy is right, but making Sun a player with both Linux and Solaris is much better than the “Linux, eeer Solaris, er Linux… Solaris!… Linux!” strategy.
- Flash and Silverlight will get a competitor from Sun and the Java world. This is good news for Linux, as it can be the first free solution on this platform. Watch the demos.
- Platform for cellphones.
- There is a video of a Google Earth like client done by Sun and NASA, based on the new FX technologies. It will be free and can be used as a component in Java programs.
Also:
- Give a look to this Xen virtual machine manager (Enomalism) and the vmcasting rss based format
- PlanetSUSE has a new logo
