Yes, Sun has committed itself to putting Java on the iPhone. But this is a bit like Miss Havisham committing herself to a life of marital bliss.

As several astute Reg readers have pointed out, Apple's end user licensing agreement for the new iPhone SDK includes its very own anti-Java clause. Sun can put a free Java Virtual Machine on the Jesus Phone, but this JVM won't be allowed to actually run Java code.

Ez hiányzott nekem sokkal jobb csatornák, a Terra kiegészítő csomag nagyon kellene például. Összeadtam és még olcsóbban is kijövök mint a UPC -nál. Az okosan szervezett bővíthetőség tetszik :)

Make3D converts your single picture into a 3-D model, completely automatically.

It takes a two-dimensional image and creates a three-dimensional "fly around" model, giving the viewers access to the scene's depth and a range of points of view. After uploading your image, you can "fly" in the 3-D scene (requires VRML viewer or Adobe Shockwave), or watch a rendered 3-d movie (flash required).

A slide from a presentation at last year's Google Engineering Open House listed 12 principles that guide programming at Google:

It’s no secret that we here at Pingdom are geeks ourselves, and we had a “geek graffiti collection marathon” the other night where we found some really cool pictures from around the world. We have narrowed it down to 13 pictures, all with some relation to IT or the internet, that we thought we would share with you in this post.

A computer mouse created by Christchurch's Grant Odgers is attracting interest from industry big players Logitech and Microsoft. The idea for the mouse came from Odgers' frustration with the existing mouse -- the design of which is unchanged since it was created more than 25 years ago. As a software developer, Odgers used computers all day and found it annoying having to move his hand away from the keyboard to use the mouse.

Combining enhanced efficiency, an intuitive feel along with a powerful design statement, the Swiftpoint™ represents a radical new mouse technology poised to finally allow consumers to enjoy the full power of a desktop mouse & keyboard within a mobile environment.

This is a guide I wrote for people who have a desire to obtain gadgets like James Bond without being enrolled in the military or secret service.

Here are listed 10 categories of devices you can buy to make you feel like a James Bond, from laser beams that cut things to x-ray goggles that see through clothes to CSI grade forensic lab hardware.

A security consultant based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds without the need for a password. Boileau, a consultant with Immunity Inc., said he did not release the tool publicly in 2006 because "Microsoft was a little cagey about exactly whether Firewire memory access was a real security issue or not and we didn't want to cause any real trouble". But now that a couple of years have passed and the issue has not resolved, Boileau decided to release the tool on his website.

Security experts have hacked ATMs to show how easy it is to steal money and bank account details from modern cash machines.

ATMs, or automated teller machines, today face the Internet-born threat of worms and denial-of-service attacks, as well as being at risk from malicious applications that can harvest customer data or hijack machines.

Up to 90 percent of the ATMs in the U.K. could be at risk from these attacks as they rely on desktop PC technology--usually Intel hardware and Windows operating systems--linked to other machines, some connected to the Internet, in the bank's network, according to experts.

What is hacking? According to Fox News or USA Today it's bad people doing bad things with computers. Ask a hacktivist and he'd tell you hackers are just free spirits exploring the Internet. According to security expert and author Jon Erickson, hacking consists of creative program solving, used for better or for worse by programmers and criminals. Regardless of how you feel about the phenomenon, it exists. You can either stick your head in the sand or learn and adapt.

"The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance." --Robert Coveyou

It is often said that mathematics is about understanding patterns and that these patterns are what makes mathematics beautiful. This article, however, is about how mathematics may be used to create, or at least simulate, randomness, the lack of patterns. Suprisingly, we will see that it is difficult to create random behavior (in fact, the words "create randomness" may sound a little jarring) and to determine when we have successfully done it.

SurveillanceSaver is a screensaver which shows live images of over 400 network surveillance cameras worldwide. Yep, when your computer is idle you’ll get to see a live feed of what’s going on in other parts of the world. It’s quite fascinating because of the voyeuristic element involved but also surreal because it compresses time-space. Sajnos csak Win és OSX klienssel.

This document describes the GitTorrent Protocol version 0.1, referred to as "GTP/0.1". The GitTorrent Protocol (GTP) is a protocol for collaborative git repository distribution across the Internet. It is best classified as a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol, although it also contains centralized elements.

Over a year ago, I published a whitepaper titled "Strange Attractors and TCP/IP Sequence Number Analysis" - an attempt to evaluate TCP/IP sequence number generators in several mainstream operating systems by mapping the dynamics of the generated sequence numbers into a three-dimensional phase space. We demonstrated how this approach can be used to find many non-trivial correlations, and discussed why the results can be directly used to perform actual ISN prediction.
