"After centuries of being hunted to the verge of extinction,
the brown bear is making a comeback
in Europe and could soon appear in Switzerland."

"The big change that "experience" causes in your brain is learning that you need to
solve people's problems
."
"A few steps before a Rubik's Cube is solved, it still looks like a mess. I think there are a lot of undergrads whose brains are in a similar position: they're only a few steps away from being able to start successful startups, if they wanted to, but they don't realize it. They have more than enough technical skill. They just haven't realized yet that the way to create wealth is to make what users want, and that employers are just proxies for users in which risk is pooled."

"In conjunction with the iTunes Music Store
launch in Switzerland
, Apple and UBS today announced a promotion
to give every Swiss citizen a free song
on the iTunes Music Store."..."UBS is offering song cards for music downloads in all of their branches, which can be used instead of a credit card to purchase tracks from the iTunes Music Store."

An
Apache licensed J2SE 5
has been proposed as a new project for the Incubator.
"Motivation:
There is a clear need for an open-source version of Java 2, Standard
Edition (J2SE) runtime platform, and there are many ongoing efforts
to produce solutions (Kaffe, Classpath, etc). There are also efforts
that provide alternative approaches to execution of Java bytecode
(GCJ and IKVM). All of these efforts provide a diversity of
solutions, which is healthy, but barriers exist which prevent these
efforts from reaching a greater potential."
From the
FAQ for Apache Harmony
:
"11) Will you accept SWT if IBM offers it?
Apache is always grateful for contributions from wherever they come,
and IBM has a record of contributions to open source, but it would [be]
up to the project community to decide whether any particular
contribution was used in the project."

I wonder how
this will develop
...
"There is more than plenty of work here to be done and we only have a month to get it all finished."
[...]
"So far we have pretty much been tearing out things amd the more we take out we find even more that should be fixed. Like the floor in the living room. We just wanted to put in some new pipes for the heating system and the main watter line. So we opened up the wooden floor to find out that one of the supporting beams is rotten at the end. So, we open up more to find out that they are all rotten. Great! Now we got the bare dirt floor."

I hate it when inconsiderate actions in the form of an ugly hack by a big player have malicious impact on current best practices. Now we have to add checks for "
X-moz: prefetch
" in request headers if we want to keep the
Google Web Accelerator
from "googling-up" certain web apps with broad branching, performance intensive get-requests. I wonder how well Google is making use of caching to limit the effect this has on server load.
