Last year, Oracle acquired BEA Systems, the hottest company in enterprise Java…until around 2001. Today, they announced the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the architects of the infrastructure of the dot com era. Remember the “dot in dot com”?
Both companies represent the history of enterprise Java, and are far less important to the future. Continue reading it here.

In December, hundreds of these controversial software developers gathered for one week at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.
They came from all over the world, sporting many of the usual signs of software mercenaries: jeans, ponytails, unruly facial hair and bloodshot eyes.
All the fuss at the meeting centered on something called Ubuntu and a man named Mark Shuttleworth, the charismatic 35-year-old billionaire from South Africa who functions as the spiritual and financial leader of this coding clan.
Created just over four years ago, Ubuntu (pronounced oo-BOON-too) has emerged as the fastest-growing and most celebrated version of the Linux operating system, which competes with Windows primarily through its low, low price: $0.

I was looking for an e-commerce solutions based on Java.
First all I searched on google and I found the article on TechNewsWorld regarding Is E-Commerce Ready for Open Source?.
After that I read about KonaKart: Free Java-based online shopping cart on InfoQ. Thefore so far, KonaKart looks like the best e-commerce solution using java platform or the only one.
If you know any other open source Java solution for e-commerce, leave a comment here.
I will be testing KonaKart soon and I’ll sharing my experience here.
Thanks

Desde do dia 02 de Setembro, não se falam em outra coisa a não ser o novo browser do google, chamado de Chrome, um concorrente para o IE da Microsoft, Firefox da Mozilla etc.
Uns dos artigos mais interessantes que li até agora, é o What’s Chrome for? Ain’t it obvious? Recomendo você ler o artigo inteiro, para não perder nenhum ideia, ou julgar o autor lendo apenas trechos.
Na mesma linhas dos milhões de artigos que estão sendo escritos sobre o Chrome está o Google Chrome is insanely fast … faster than Firefox 3.0, onde o autor comprova através de testes que o Chrome é realmente mais rápido que o Firefox. O mesmo autor escreve outro artigo logo depois, Is Firefox faster than Chrome?. onde ele mesmo mostra outro teste que o Firefox 3.x é um pouco mais rápido que o Chrome, teste realizado pela Brendan Eich, Mozilla’s Chief Technology Office. Ou seja, ninguém sabe muita coisa ainda, e é claro que, cada um puxa a “sardinha” para seu lado.
Eu estou testando aqui o Chrome, e mais para frente vou postar a minha opinião.

Launchy is the most efficient way to open files, folders, websites, and programs on your computer. Nobody likes to hunt through the start menu to find an application, just to find that the application is hidden under some obscure folder named after a company you have never heard of! Instead, Launchy is a smart search program which tries to guess which program or file you are looking for and will launch it when you hit the enter key. It is only visible when you hit the alt+space (windows) or control+space (Linux) key combination; otherwise it hides in the background. Once you have used it for a few days, it becomes an indispensable utility for your computer. And it’s free!
I had installed Launchy version 1.03 in my windows xp desktop (a long time ago), but it is an old version. Launchy version 2.1.1 is available to download for Windows and for linux now. That’s great !
I really can not to survive without Launchy any more.
I will post here further about what I’m thinking about Launchy for Linux.
