Google Reader

Google just launched their RSS Reader, Google Reader. It looks real cool and certainly a competition killer. It is running too slowly now, with lots of people taking their first look at it. I was trying to import my OPML file but it just wouldn't let me do that. Too slow at the moment. But then, as things cool off, it certainly looks like an easy way to read all my feeds online.

Update:
After a long long wait, The OPML subscriptions have been imported and this is how my Google Reader looks like. Looking forward to playing around with it, but on first looks, it makes fantastic use of AJAX lending ability to sort and organize content very efficiently. And Gmail's "star" thingy is over here too.

I found your comments to be very interesting. We can never keep up with all that is going on. For example who would have ever thought Apple and Intel would be working together. On another side note, I’m one of the beta testers for a new browser. It can be found here; www.idealbrowser.com. The company is looking for others to test it out as well so download it and give them some feedback.

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Community effort to create a single persistence model for the Java community

A community effort led by Sun Microsystems is aiming to create a single 'Plain Old Java Object' persistence model to provide a single object/relational mapping facility for Java app developers in J2SE and J2EE. Paul Krill writes In a letter to the “Java Technology Community” on Friday, specification leads on Java Specification Request (JSR) 220, which is the proposal for Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, and JSR-243, for Java Data Objects, state that the two technologies feature divergent persistence models. “This divergence has caused confusion and debates among Java developers, and is not in the best of interest of the Java community,” said JSR-220 leader Linda DeMichiel who also is a Sun employee, and Craig Russell, a staff engineer at Sun who leads JSR-243. “In response to these requests [for an end to the unwanted divide], Sun Microsystems is leading a community effort to create a single POJO (Plain Old Java Object) persistence model for the Java community,” the letter said.
