If I write: SELECT * FROM * WHERE * = “”
What am I meaning? Which is the technology behind that?
I suppose many of yours will be as impressed as I was the first time I saw that statement.
If you answer me correctly you will have earned my respect 
Believe it or not, in a few months the Java EE 5 specification will be two years old (Final Release on the 11 May, 2006). And nobody is using it.
Java ME was designed by Sun Microsystems and is a replacement for a similar technology, PersonalJava. Originally developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 68, the different flavors of Java ME have evolved in separate JSRs. Sun provides a reference implementation of the specification, but has tended not to provide free binary implementations of its Java ME runtime environment for mobile devices, rather relying on third parties to provide their own.
Today Sun has announced officially its plans to acquire MySQL AB. From my point of view, good news for free software community.
What time is it? It is 8:00 pm. This is the message which my new HP IPaq 514 smartphone says when I get up.
For a long time I had been thinking in changing my old Nokia with a new mobile gadget, and the last Three Kings Day this thinking comes true.
Here you are:
Happy New Year to everybody!
Lately I have been very worried about technologies which allow us to create Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Because of this, I have been making a lot of questions about each of these technologies to my colleagues until I have found this excellent test: Bubble Test
The goal of this test is to directly compare performance of different RIA frameworks / approaches in different browsers. The test, which implements simple 2D animation demo, was initially created in DHTML, then ported to Silverlight (WPF/e), Flex and WPF (XBAP). The code used in DHTML, Silverlight (WPF/e) and Flex is essentially the same while for XBAP demo it was ported to C#.
The applicability of results is limited of course to the performance of animation, however, this is correlated to many practical patterns of modern RIA applications such as drag-and-drop and layout transitions. Additionally it allows to quantatively compare performance of different versions of browsers /
WiiRemoteJ is a free Java API and library for interacting with a Nintendo(R) Wii(tm) Remote through Bluetooth(R). WiiRemoteJ aims to do two things: first, it aims to create an easily accessible interface for Java developers wanting to work with the Wii Remote. Second, it aims to provide tools for developers using the Wii Remote to speed development. WiiRemoteJ comes with a complete javadoc, detailing every public class, field, and method. In addition, WiiRemoteJ aims to duplicate many of the same ideologies and methods used in the main Java libraries. This should allow developers to jump into the development process relatively quickly.
Although this is a Java Technology Blog, I have to make reference to other interesting technologies which go appearing in the market to bridge existing gaps. Who hasn´t had to create rich client applications fighting with JSF, JSP, JSTL or whatever cutting-edge client technology (lately JavaFX)?
I am the first one who has gone crazy with web pages completely full of HTML, JavaScript, JSTL so that I tremble with fear when companies such as Sun, Microsoft or Macromedia (bought by Adobe) announce that I will never have to make an effort when designing the web client.
After a very hard year I enjoy my holidays in the beautiful island of Fuerteventura so that I am not going to write any post for this time.

See you !!
Although I am not very keen on videogames, I think this Java Applet will be welcome by the nostalgic ones for Nintendo 8 bit. Nintendo Applet
