Curtis Sasaki just gave a demo of Looking Glass to the Sun Developer Advisory Council.
They gave him a round of applause when he was done.
When's the last time you saw a room full of developers give somebody applause for demoing technology?
It's no wonder that the father of Looking Glass Hideya Kawahara won a spot as one of InfoWorld's Innovators to Watch in 2005.
I was really hoping that Hideya would be here so that I could introduce myself and welcome him into the circle of techno celebs who are my personal friends. Alas, he didn't make it to Shanghai. I'll definately hunt him down at JavaOne.
I digress... sort of... the point is there are some really hot developments in the works, not just with Looking Glass but with the whole Java Desktop System. Curtis told these guys (and me, the hanger-on) because they signed NDAs. And you, my friends, haven't. So that's a little bit "too bad for you" to quote Junie B. Jones.
Stay tuned. It's gonna knock your socks off.
