Finally, a judge who may have actually visited the Internet once or twice before deciding a case. Judge Howard Lloyd, a judge on the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, threw out adult entertainment company IO Group’s 2006 copyright infringement case against Veoh today. At the time Veoh had some user-uploaded porn on its service that belonged to IO Group. Despite quick takedowns from DMCA notices, IO Group sued anyway.
A key issue of the case turned on whether or no

The Pope dons red Prada kicks, politicians break out red ties in election season and that darn Netflix package always seems to stand out in a crowd of manilla and ivory mail. Why red? Do humans have a penchant for the rainbow’s most fiery color?
This study released in 2005 discovered that red-clad athletes out-performed competitors donning blue uniforms and suggested that the win discrepancy occurred because of an innate association of red with dominance and assertiveness. New research goe

David Morrison, via email: "I've been reading your site for a few years now, and couldn't think of anyone else to ask this question to. Are there any feeds or releases of the Democratic Convention speeches in just audio format. I'm traveling out of country, can't sit and watch on a computer, and don't have the bandwith to download video. Been searching for a few days, and can't seem to find anything. Seems amazing that this 'high tech' campaign doesn't have this easily availible."
OK, sorry to mix metaphors, but it is time to put this can of worms to bed (???). If you've been following this blog you couldn't help but notice the many posts on the apparent ESB vs. SOA controversy. All of this started with an innocent little interview John did for SearchSOA - where the topic of Intermediating multiple ESBs came up. This article created a tornado of posts from some heavy hitters on SOA topics over the last month.
Given all of that, we decided to have our own little webinar o
“Another programmer came to us. ‘I thought you should know that people are really unhappy,’ he said bluntly, ‘and it’s starting to make it so that people just complain all day, instead of doing their work, and that’s not good.’”

As of this week you can download an early release draft document containing 11 design documents we've been working on for the past year or so as the result of the OSGi enterprise initiative.
This is important because according to OSGi Alliance rules, only members are allowed access to working drafts of documents. This is the first time we've released any of these drafts publicly. As a board member and EEG co-chair, I'm very pleased to see this happen because (a) I often get asked about what's
I'm very excited to announce that we've launched a new low-cost version of our award-winning XML Editor today: the XMLSpy Standard Edition is an entry-level XML Editor that packs some of the most frequently-used features of the higher-level editions into a product that is ideally suited for basic XML editing tasks, such as XML configuration file changes, twiddling with RSS feeds, viewing XML output from applications, writing small XSLT stylesheets, and for learning XML.

I know I’m quite late to this, but I also know this show is remarkably obscure, and was released on DVD only towards the end of last year, I think. Slings and Arrows depicts the trials and tribulations of the New Burbage Theater company as it handles strange times on the stage. It’s definitely not an obvious ratings winner — it’s Canadian, erudite, and rewards a knowledge of The Bard that I’m sure I lack.
But it’s remarkably good television (and I have Tim Go

My colleague, Paul, got lots of… let’s call it, “feedback” regarding his post on the impending demise of the standalone Business Rule Engine (BRE) Market. It seems there are lots of folks out there who feel quite passionate about the subject, so I thought I would continue, albeit from a different angle and relate it back to the CEP and BusinessEvents for comparison.
So… taking my cue from David Letterman and with a tip o’ the hat to Paul, here are the:

I've been into computers since I was 4 years old. I went to an esteemed (so they tell me) computer science school, or at least that's what they tell me. I've worked for every kind of software shop: the Big 6 (now 4) consultancies, a couple of startups, and even 'the Big O' (yes, Oracle). So I thought I was familiar with most techniques, theories and approaches to software development. Well, it seems I missed one.About 8 weeks ago Deepak Alur, JackBe's ever-vigilant VP of Development, sent me

I received an email in my Inbox today to say that Twitter had killed off inbound SMS updates to the UK.The whole raison d’etre for my subscribing to and using Twitter was to get real-time updates. If I have to login to a Twitter app then what’s the point ? It’s no better, and actually worse than reading RSS. The guys at Twitter twitter on about it being costly, yada yada yada. Well they knew this when they started the service. The challenge for their exec team was to
Brendan Eich compared me to Yoda, and then to Gandalf. More recently, Mark Miller compared me to Henry Fonda because the meetings of the TC39 (the group that maintains the ECMAScript standard) played a lot like a prison theater production of 12 Angry Men.
