Looking forward to Java 6

Ajaxian ยป Sun has rewritten the browser Java plugin

Sun is announcing that they have ground up rewritten the Java plugin in the browser. The features of the rewrite are:

  • Improved scripting support (java/javascript integration is better)
  • Improved reliability
  • Supports more powerful applets (applets can ask for more memory)
  • Better windows vista support (signed applets)
  • Enterprise features (run one applet in a particular JRE version)

Where’s MY White Wire?

What would happen if you plugged in both wires?  :)

The Long Tail: The Black Wire and the White Wire

Hence my two cables–in a sense, my computing ego and id. Scratch most companies and their employees and you’ll find the same. So why not build IT infrastructure that reflects the reality that one size doesn’t fit all? To encourage experimentation at the edge while protecting operations in the core, two networks work better than one.

Google’s Bluffing

Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free? 

A fair point.  If Google can get Verizon to buy the 700MHz band, and still have open access to it…..

But what if Verizon pulls strings and seals up the 700MHz spectrum, leaving Google without a mobile Ace up its sleeve?
Don’t they have to bid?

Apparently not.  According to GaGaGoogle … there is always Sprint and WiMax….

Is this a cunning plan B…or was it plan A all along?

On Google’s Mobile Strategy

We believe Google has no intention of bidding on the spectrum, owning the spectrum, or running a wireless network. It’s not their core business. Google is sitting at the spectrum card table, holding their cards tight, and bluffing— with a straight face. They are trying to loosen the hold wireless carriers have on us, the end users.
