Video Ad Pioneer Ditches Java
The fate of Java in the video world takes another hit. It really is too bad that Sun hasn’t done anything with JMF in a couple of years and Apple can’t figure out how to make QuickTime for Java usable.
Woe is me..

AJAX
adaptive path » ajax: a new approach to web applications
Like how Google does their maps and suggest features. Like the responsiveness and the subqueries (loading data without loading the page) along with the fact that they don’t rely upon Flash or the dreaded JVM. Welcome to AJAX. Speaking of which, AJAX is nothing new, it is just HTML, XML, JavaScript, CSS and HTTP being done right.
MIDP 2.0 on the Mac.. It works!!!
mpowerplayer sdk
From the site:
The mpowerplayer software developer kit includes the mpowerplayer as a standalone application. It’s a pure Java emulator implementing MIDP 2.0 and MMAPI, suitable for integration with your favorite environment and IDE. Third-party integration efforts exist for Ant, Eclipse, Idea, and we hear of more efforts almost daily.
For OS X-based developers, the mpowerplayer sdk is your best (and only) option for MIDP 2.0 development and it includes Sun’s preverify tool as a native executable.
The mpowerplayer sdk is a free download – we encourage you to use our emulator as a standard part of your tool chain to reduce your build/debug cycle as well as to ensure your content runs great on the mpowerplayer. Get it today.
I can verify that it works!!! Finally doing MIDP 2 programming on my Mac. Now all I need is Eclipse integration and I will be flying high.

bluefish
Ian’s BlueTooth Project:
Bluefish is a surveillance system which tracks the presence of Bluetooth devices, and their users.
Bluefish constantly scans for Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as phones, PDA’s, and wireless peripherals. When a new device is found, Bluefish takes a picture of the area in which the device is discovered and catalogues all retrievable information about the device. If the device is ever discovered again, the user will be sent the last image captured of them via Bluetooth. All images are tagged with the device’s name and the time it was last observed.
Over time, a profile is built for each discovered device, making it possible to track individual users who frequent the scanning area.
