A few weeks ago The Unoffical Apple Weblog (http://www.tuaw.com/), where looking for new bloggers and being the Mac fanatic that I am I had to apply for it.
Yesterday I got rejected.
Since I’m also looking for a new day job at the moment, it’s a feeling I should be getting used to, but it still kind of hurts.
No I’m kidding actually. It is a feeling I’ve got used to. Read More...

Sun Debuts JavaFX As Alternative To AJAX: "r7 writes 'Internetnews is reporting on Sun's introduction of JavaFX at JavaOne today. Looks like a combination Applet, Flash, Javascript, and AJAX with a friendly programming interface. Does this really spell the end of AJAX? I sincerely hope so. Nothing built on Javascript will ever achieve the security, cross-platform reliability, and programmatic friendliness that Web 2.0 needs. Proprietary solutions and vendor lock-in are also dead ends.

As prices for products like HP's MediaSmart Server drop and as processing power becomes more pervasive, Derene says, 'you'll ultimately need a centralized server—that high-powered traffic cop—to coordinate the non-stop exchange of information between your new multitude of devices.''Read more of this story at Slashdot.
