There is a rumor on the web claiming that HP/Palm will remove Harmony from Pre and Pixie. Also, two other "minor" companies seem to be slightly desperate when it comes to mobile software development. I wonder why. It is a mystery in a black box surrounded by angry teenagers.

A laptop ? The Apple iPad ? Google Android is superficially more similar to J2SE than JavaFX powered by Prism. How is Android or Harmony J2ME when they do not implement J2ME profile classes ? How the hell can Oracle sue a J2SE open source implementation running on an internet connected 1GHz computer with eight gigabytes of shared memory and a 800x480 screen (Samsung Galaxy S) ?

Using lawsuits to take down the competing alternative might not sit well with handset manufactures. Who the heck wants to invest money into something that is not installed on phones and will likely never be installed until the whole lawsuit thing is over ? And by "lawsuit thing" I mean a SCO like battle between Oracle and every single company who violates some random Sun patent. Sure, suing Google is typical American Fortune 500 lawyers-want-a-bonus kind of thing. But where does it stop ? Is Google it ?

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 ?

How is this different from Internet Explorer 6 plus Flash in 2001 ?

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 ?

Warning - Security2222.png

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 machine used to have two gigabytes but static electricity seems to have fried one of the chips when I replaced the DVD drive. I can run the Mass Effect 2 demo under Steam, but the Nike Store is a much harder challenge.

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 !

PS
Go Spain !

A J2EE virtual dedicated costs $50. A .NET dedicated costs $250. .NET and IIS on a VM over Remote Desktop is a horrible development experience. SSH, SFTP, Dreamweaver, Eclipse and J2EE is much easier. And Apache Perl/Python/PHP is often installed by default on Linux.

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.

The primary website is not included in this though. Pretty good for indicating trends, but kinda useless when assessing real, day to day, traffic volume.

The Analytics data is only from this website. Normal traffic went from 30 uniques a day in 2009 to 150 in 2010 with short spikes of 2000-5000 uniques per day. 50 percent of traffic comes from search engines.
