And that you can't beat it. And by this logic we should all give up our copyrights and live on advertising or some bullshit like that.

Really ?

What is Xbox 360 ?
DRM

What is Playstation 3 ?
DRM

What is Bluray ?
DRM

What is Valve Steam ?
DRM

What is Apple iTunes + iPod ?
DRM

What is Adobe Flash (MRMS) ?
DRM

What is online gaming ?
DRM

What is Hulu.com ?
DRM

What is Google Apps/Mail/Reader/Analytics ?
DRM

What is currently making heaps of money ? Xbox, Playstation, Bluray, Valve, Apple, Adobe, online games, big media and Google. Web 2.0 is really DRM 2.0. But people are too stupid (fun fact: I wrote "to stupid") to see it. This is my cloud bitch, create your own, etc. The age of the data silos in the sky.

Looks like it. Lots of Apple people in my web logs as well. Maybe my mind tricks are working ! Lima Lima Lima.

Just playing around with Java 1.6.0_10-beta-b23. The shaped window is a bit ugly in the edges, but this is the best I can do for now. The resizing is a bit wonky as well. I have to redesign parts of the LAF if I want something better. Might be too much work, who knows. The transparent window feature is working well, but might be too annoying. Also, the top black area lets you drag the entire application. This guy got some huge skills.

Kvitre is just a byproduct of Capture. My plan was to check out the JavaFX media stack before I release something, but that is taking forever so who knows. Feels extremely stupid to release code that depends on Java Media code from the stone age. And the Jmyron video decoder that I use is great for crashing virtual machines. Sun needed all this time just to implement something that was cool seven years ago (Windows XP from 2001) ? Does not bode well for JavaFX.

I would say that 1.6.0_10-beta-b23 is really Swing 1.0. Now we actually match native code for the first time.

A lot of noise about Sun developers leaving for Adobe. Who cares ? Adobe Flex needs all the help it can get. The bullshit factor is through the roof. Flex and GWT are fighting over the prestigious “most horrible user experience” award. I thought we Swing developers had that shit down.. but now we got competition !

Here is a new demo that showcases Teppefall 2D. It uses the same layout system as the other applets.

2D viewport
Vertically adjusting viewport.

Controls:
CTRL/Command + Up,Down,Left,Right.
CTRL + ALT + Up,Down,Left,Right.
CTRL + Enter (or doubleclick).
CTRL + Backspace.
Or just use the mouse, scroll wheel and CTRL.

Safari users can not use CTRL + Left,Right because Safari denies access to this key combination. Goldensection is based on a DrawBot example.

Java Applets.

beta.fx.layer

beta.fx.shapeddemo2d

beta.fx.textlayout

beta.fx.cover (broken on Linux)

beta.fx.oddshape

The current number is 1042 confirmed downloads. Colorspace is based 95 percent on the work of Luan, Werner and Kirill so I am just the guy putting the Lego pieces together. But it is fun to see people use my application framework.
