Java's future according to Jack

If you missed JavaOne, then you missed this quite humorous flash animation.

One of the neat things about vectored graphics is that they showed this on the BIG screen at JavaOne (those who were there know how big a screen it was). I used to work quite a bit with graphics long ago, so I'm glad to see things like SVG and TinySVG coming along. This thing just proves how cool such stuff is. Some of our J2ME guys showed SVG scaled down on devices at JavaOne. Cool stuff.

It's a bit Sun oriented, but anyone who follows Sun/Microsoft should at least get a chuckle out of it.

Hey, That's pretty cool. I'm kinda confused about this whole Sun ambivalence thing, with rabid linux fanboys squaring off against harassed-looking Sun employees. (disclaimer: I'm a linux user). Still, I met some Mike Merow guy on a plane who works for Sun, so you can't all be two-headed spawn of Satan =). Tried out Solaris Express (02/04), and haven't been struck by divine bolt of lightning, yet... Can't wait till a build with one of the FS comes out, though (August?). bye, Victor
