Links of interest for 26 Jul 2010 - 6 Aug 2010:

• Using Oracle® Solaris 10 to Overcome Security Challenges - A great whitepaper that briefly explains and demonstrates a lot of the great security features Solaris has. This isn't a HOWTO, but more of a "look what we can do document". Well worth a read, even if you are a seasoned Solaris expert - you may just find a "I didn't know that" moment.
• Official Google Blog: Update on Google Wave - Good-bye Wave. I used you once to see what the fuss was all about and then promptly forgot you. Seems I wasn't the only one who couldn't find a use for it.
• Slashdot IT Story | Oracle's Java Company Change Breaks Eclipse - And this is why you should NOT rely on string parsing to determine product versions etc. Use a documented interface, which in this case did NOT change. Had Eclipse done things properly, this post would never have been written.
• The Observation Deck » Good-bye, Sun - Sad day for Sun/Oracle - Bryan Cantrill has left the building.
