  • Java 4 IPhone
    Looks like it exists and works, but is not integrated with Safari becuase, well, you can't, and is only available on a jailbreak phone because Apple doesn't want a system it can't control showing up so has written Ts & Cs that make Java inadmissible.

  • Mozilla and Eclipse Licenses Now Available for Hosting Users
    "our removal of the MPL from the site seemed a little absurd. So, our bad." -- Congratulations to Chris for realizing he'd made a bad decision and reversing it (I await the crow-eating from Mark). Now all they have to do is add one or two more licenses from OSI's anti-proliferation list and they are on pretty solid ground.
  • Manual, but I had a reply from Yahoo today acknowledging my enquiry. Not fixed, though.
