BING!

I was trying to get some search results out of google recently and was having a hard time finding what I was after.  As a last resort I gave bing a go and (unsurprisingly?) found nothing as well.  I thought maybe because my search was java related (for work, of course) the results might be skewed.

I though, "I wonder what other results might be skewed" and started punching in some search terms.  This is what I found when I searched for linux"

More for myself (and maybe my PageRank), here's a link to my old entries that I had on blogspot.

DEVELOPING SOFTWARE IN JAVASCRIPT

I was reading Aza Raskin's blog, and noticed that he's working on a new plugin system for Firefox called JetPack.  It's like the regular plugin system (which is what's currently used to write addons for Firefox) but with a twist.

Instead of exposing the Firefox API where the plugin developer has to learn C/C++, the API is exposed in such a way that developers can write plugins using HTML, JavaScript and AJAX. 

Sound familiar? 

Palm have recently released their new smart phone, the Palm Pre.

One of the features of the Pre is its OS, WebOS where (you guessed it) developers write applications using HTML, JavaScript and AJAX.

With more and more developers writing applications for the web, it only seems smart to provide extensibility to your platform using technologies they already know.

HIDE AND SEEK

It appears MySQL likes to play "lets trick the user into giving us their email address". 

P.s. the answer is at the bottom below the registration boxes.
