Huh ?

J2ME is irrelevant. Dalvik is the only thing that is not J2SE. But how is that different from Excelsior Jet or GNU GJC ?
Even if this ends quickly and Google pays up, JavaFX might end up as the next Microsoft J++. Which would be ironic. Oracle does not give a shit about JavaFX. This is all about cashing in on Sun patents that Sun claimed where purely defensive.
]]>You could argue that this is another attack on open source because of Harmony. But since patents and copyright is involved this is probably just another old fashioned extortion racket. Now feel the power of plagiarized intellectual property ! (Void in China, India and other outsourcing countries) Oracle is positive to JavaFX because they are filing lawsuits against the competition !
This kind of thing is not really a big surprise when Google is raking in billions while having a lax attitude towards who-owns-what. Android is just another Adsense channel.
Maybe Larry and Steve had brunch ?

JavaFX is great for building user interfaces, but what happens if your UI is a little bit "left-of-center" or needs that extra bit of sparkle?
S313250 JavaFX Script: The Java Patterns Killer
JavaFX Script kills getters/setters, constructors, and interfaces, all with built-in language features. It revolutionizes the Command, Adapter, Observer, and MVC patterns; supports REST, XML, and JSON natively; and includes data binding and additional scopes.
S312919 JFXtras: JavaFX Controls, Layouts, Services, and More
In this session, you'll learn directly from the JFXtras team how to: Build a data-driven UI using the XTableView, XShelfView, and XForm
S312925 Pro JavaFX: Developing Enterprise Applications
In this session, you'll learn how to build dynamic, data-rich user interfaces by combining JavaFX and Java EE technologies. .... This session will give you the tools you need to leverage your Java and Java EE expertise to start writing feature-rich RIAs today.
S313732 Mastering RIA Layouts, Using JavaFX
There are layout patterns emerging that combine classic user interaction principles with rich modern graphics to deliver an exceptional user experience.
Then compare this with Samsung, Palm, Apple and Microsoft.
Windows Phone UI and Design Language.
Apparently JavaFX is a revolutionary enterprise Java killer technology that results in feature-rich dynamic data-driven interfaces based on leveraging existing Java and Java EE expertise.
Great ! How retarded has a company become when they undermine their primary asset, which is JRE and OpenJDK, and relegate Java to the "stupid data" layer ? Java is now the JSON of JavaFX.
]]>Why is HTML5 winning when Webkit is the next Internet Explorer ? Several iPhone and WebOS HTML5 applications do not work in IE, Opera and Firefox. How is this "open" and "standards based" ? Some developers even check for the Webkit user agent string and then refuse to work in Firefox. The last time I saw this was when Microsoft tried to piss off Opera.
I have worked with browser incompatibility issues for over ten years. Today's browsers are amazingly similar. You just have to use standards based code. If HTML5 means Webkit only then why not use native code instead ? Almost every single mobile device uses some kind of ARM processor. The only problem is the myriad of GPU systems. Which will be replaced by CPU/GPU hybrids in the future. If HTML5 continues down the current path my C++ might become more portable than my Javascript.
I love the web. But I never code for Webkit only. Why is this even logical ? HTML5 is winning because everyone is cheating ?
]]>What is funny about this new release is that all JavaFX developers must PAY MONEY to run their code. Or they get this message. Or maybe I am wrong and screwing up cross domain issues. Who the heck knows. This is the second or third time they pull a move like this without writing any advisories on it.
It is also funny how clicking YES and NO both hang my software. Is someone making assumptions about threads ? Silly me ?
You can see the new DownloadServiceListener loader function here . Media player and 3D is now broken because Sun changed the rules... again. If nothing happens you might have to clean the Web Start cache. You must run Java 6u21.
]]>The store is awesome though. But most of the products are not for sale in my country. But I can buy a $90 t-shirt if I spend $400 on shoes !

Go Spain !
Microsoft has a great platform. It is just terrible to use without sitting on the same IP subnet. VPN access to VM hosted IIS is oversold middle-management-promotion price saving crap.
J2EE (Caucho/IBM/Oracle) on a VM (Xen/Vmware/Parallels) is a cheap (or expensive) slice of awesome.
The next day another middle management guy came over and said "why did you contact that guy directly?" To which I replied "I was..." and then he continued "you never contact those guys, everything goes through me, okay ?" I said okay and got hammered that week.
Apparently non-programmers solve logical "problems" over the phone. Which means being on the phone is "work". And this then is “stealing my damn job” if you call the wrong people.
]]>Coding can be a terrible lifestyle if you never excersise or eat healthy. The brain basically wants soda and pizza. And too much caffeine screws up the sleep cycle. So coders who get in at 10-12 might be working on complex algorithms. But most people just think they drink too much beer.
