I like angry techs

I wrote about Hadoop some time ago (for “some reasons”) and I did EXACTLY what Ted Dziubas says here.

The Register

But I’m not offended at all: he is 100% right! And I strongly suggest to take a look at this article: in the middle of his swearing there is, actually, some good stuff about “what is going on in the Web2.0 Yet Again Exploding Bubble!!!

Google London Open Source Jam

Edit: Added a link to the Google Group of the project of Mal about the sync-stuff. It’s name is PySync.


Yesterday I went with a collegue (thank you Serage, particularly for the pictures ;) ) to this event that the Google’s London Office sort twice (or more?) a year. Google London Open Source Jam.

I went for one main reason and other two minors (and… I didn’t know that the most important was another one ;) ):

  1. The Topic
  2. To take a look to the Google Office in London (very very close to Victoria Station)
  3. Free Food (very nice pizza ;) )

(What’s the “main one” is up to you… :-D ).

The Topic

This time, our topic of interest is Mobile.

  1. Linux on phones
  2. JavaME vs JavaSE vs .NET CF vs Native
  3. Browser technologies: AJAX and Flash
  4. Building native apps that port to multiple architectures
  5. Open platforms (e.g. OpenMoko)
  6. Cross platform testing
  7. Making the most of mobile hardware (camera, voice, bluetooth, GPS, etc)
  8. Phone bling

Dopo tanto tempo, un post in Italiano.

Spero che qualcuno possa trovarla utile a fini didattici, dato che non ho potuto continuare il suo sviluppo.

New Year, Old Stories

Cracked...

No, It’s not a post on politics or demagogy: it’s about foolishness!!!
HD-DVD, one of the 2 “standards” of the future of Home-Movie (and Digital Video Storage in general), seems to be cracked… already.

An anonymous cracker, called muslix64, have published a post on Doom9 about a very little Java program that is capable of Rip AACS-Encrypted video from an HD-DVD.

More info on a page of Wikipedia dedicated to this program, BackupHDDVD.

What about foolishness? Do you remember the HDDVD vs. Blue-Ray Disc war? :D :D :D

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) for the Mac

On 16 Nov 2006 Google release the new version of GWT (Google Web Toolkit). As experts probably know, until this release GWT was not “develop-able” on MacOSX.
But the music is changing…

Edit Nov 22 2006:
On the Official GWT Blog:

After a couple weeks of fixing all the issues our developer community has so diligently reported in the issue tracker, we are happy to announce the official release of Google Web Toolkit 1.2 today.

As we mentioned when we released the 1.2 Release Candidate, you can now develop and debug with GWT on Mac OS X in addition to Linux and Windows. We are pretty proud of this particular feature because GWT is now about as “platform independent” as you can get: develop on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X and deploy to IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera on any platform, without any special cases in your code. (If you want a bit more detail about our implementation of Mac OS X support, our release nomenclature and other tidbits, this recent InfoQ interview may interest you.)

We also have already talked about how much faster the 1.2 hosted mode debugging environment is. And it is. If you’ve ever found yourself dropping to the command line using only the GWT compiler because hosted mode was too slow, you really should check out 1.2. Refreshes in hosted mode are almost instantaneous, and hosted mode lets you actually debug your code, which is nice…
