RIP Google Wave - http://nexle.dk/l/e9z …. Come on @google!!, you should have kept pushing through with Wave – such a bold vision. Of course it was early days – maybe most people didn’t quite value or understand the potential yet?.. At least some(/all?) of it is open source but we needed a giant to push it through. Shame shame.
Why did Google “accidentally” steal/sniff wifi information? My thought: to get their location API working! Wikipedia article on how the Geolocation API works in HTML5 http://nexle.dk/l/nhu .. its quite obvious isn’t it?

Not sure when it happened but Google launched a new beta version of its Google Maps for Mobiles with a feature “My Location”. This feature allows you to see your approximate location on a map via a mobile phone without using GPS. It calculates your location based on the nearest phone towers. Its nothing new but its exciting that the technology is starting to get used some more. While the Google thing works on many platforms, the Java integration of this technology is under JSR-179 “Location API” and there is a pretty cool article about the Java Location API here. This is just the beginning! This technology over the next year is going to get so hot!! Imagine the advertising potential as well as the opportunity for new and exciting business ideas around social computing etc.. How exciting.
In the year 2014, The New York Times has gone offline. The Fourth Estate’s fortunes have waned. What happened to the news?
If you have not seen this yet, have a look.. quite amusing;
As we know Google are very good at making people work for them for free and they’ve done it again. You can now create your “own” search engine searching only your topics of interest and with your look and feel and even “tags”/filters.. I created one to test it and it searches Java resources… my link is;

This is interesting and would be good for the momentum of OpenSolaris… I think the world could use some more Solaris and less Windows and Linux….
