Links of interest for 27 Jan 2010 - 14 Feb 2010: eWEEK's Top 25 Technologies Of The Decade - Including Solaris 10 - "During the latter half of '00s, Sun Microsystems' Solaris 10 sat at the leading edge of operating system technologies, with unique capabilities that include Containers virtualisation, Dtrace system instrumentation and the ZFS file system. Solaris 10 also helped put a stamp of inevitability on the x86-64 architecture and on the open-source-as-a-platform licensing strategy." UK Govt Say "No Evidence" IE is Less Secure - Or more precisely, "There is no evidence that moving from the latest fully patched... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 29 Jan 2009 - 12 Feb 2009: Stop developing for Internet Explorer 6 - I couldn#039;t agree more. I stopped checking all of my site in IE 6 years ago. I#039;m not a web developer by profession so I don#039;t need to keep everyone happy. If you#039;re running old and backward software, that#039;s your problem, not mine. Saving Big Money With Open Source Storage - OpenSolaris and ZFS saving someone#039;s money and ass. Countdown (actually up) to the UNIX Epoch time being 1234567890! - It#039;s amazing how excited techies get about the simple things ;-) Sun... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 3 Sep 2008 - 11 Sep 2008: 10 Principles of the PHP Masters - Some very useful PHP tips here. Some new, some old. Google restores Chrome's shine - That's better. Now you can still keep ownership of everything you already own. Hadoop Live CD at OpenSolaris.org - Distributed computing on a LiveCD. What a great way to test the waters without actually having to install anything. Happy 5th Birthday, DTrace - Wow!!! DTrace is 5 years old already. Wow time flies. Burned by Chrome - All your bases are belong to us. Not the nicest... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 12 Aug 2008 - 3 Sep 2008: Carpetbomb bug tarnishes Google Chrome - Ooops. How on earth could the Google chaps have missed this one? Google Chrome Considered Harmful - Hmmm, the bad news about Google Chrome is starting to come to light now. Google Chrome, Google's Browser Project - Oooo, sounds like Firefox may have a new competitor. Now how long before we get a Solaris/OpenSolaris version? iPhone passwords not worth the paper they're written on - Ooops. This certainly won't help Apple make inroads into the business market. The latest Xeon and OpenSolaris -... Continue reading ►

The Google engineers have been hard at work in another bid to change the way we work. Today they will be releasing a new open source browser called "Chrome". As is common with announcements these days, the internet soon got wind of the project when someone at Google clicked the "Send" button just a little too early and sent a comic book by Scott McCloud about their new browser out into the world for all to see.

Links of interest for 21 Mar 2008 - 25 Mar 2008: Paper Enigma Machine - What a brilliant idea, and a great teaching tool too. Sun turns to lasers to speed up computer chips - Now this would be brilliant if Sun research proves to be a success. Sun's continually proving it is light years (excuse the pun) ahead of everyone else in the processor business and this is just another example. Australian WiMAX pioneer trashes technology as "miserable failure" - I wonder how many more people are going to come forward now and bring their problems to light. All... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 5 Mar 2008 - 12 Mar 2008: iPhone rules pose Net neutrality, antitrust concerns - I just knew the iPhone SDK sounded too good to be true. It seems the license allows you to do "this", but not "that", nor "that", oh and "the other thing" isn't allowed either. Why release an SDK if you can't develop to your heart's content? I was really Snap Sun decision launches Java at iPhone - Cool. No hopefully people will start creating some useful Java apps for the iPhone (and other phones) and not just games. Acid3 Test Released... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 18 Oct 2007 - 7 Nov 2007: System Profiling 101 : Getting started using sys_diag v.7.04 - A very useful performance gathering script that used Dtrace, amongst other tools to gather performance information Sun sues NetApp, California style - Well, if the previous case wasn't enough to let NetApp know Sun are serious, this one probably will. Sun's ZFS is close to perfect, but widely misunderstood - How's this for a rave review of ZFS. If you've tried ZFS, read this article and get out there and play with it. It's in OS X Leopard, FreeBSD,... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 9 August 2007 - 6 September 2007: BIND 8 Has been EOLd - ISC have announced BIND 8 is End of Life as of 27 August 2007 and is encouraging everyone move to BIND 9. I wonder if Sun will be backporting BIND 9 to Solaris 8 and 9, or opting to run their own patch stream until these OSes are EOLd. NetApp Hits Sun With Patent Infringement Lawsuit - I can't help feel this is NetApp showing it's fear of ZFS and Sun's future products based on ZFS. Why else would they file the patent...

This came as a surprise to me: you can now get Safari (the Mac web browser) for Windows. Whilst it's only in beta at the moment, it's good to see another good FREE browser become available for Windows. The more good FREE browsers for Windows there are, the better (I've been having a nightmare with my new design on my personal site and IE 6). Update: Well, that didn't take long. It's already broken.
