I like Jonathan Schwartz a lot, but I think that unless some drastic changes are made to Java, the move to JAVA as Sun's ticker symbol is going to be as relevant as changing it to COBOL. I'm using Java less and less as time goes by, not more - the heyday of the language and platform has come and gone, and IMHO, unless some drastic steps are taken, it's going to continue to fade from relevance with increasing speed.

I'm looking to buy a few of these key fob hooks, but I'm having a tough time finding them. If anybody knows where I can get some, please let me know.

I just ordered a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ680.

Configured as follows:

• No Integrated Wireless Wide Area Network
• Wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g/n)
• Microsoft Windows Vista Business
• MOTION EYE Camera
• 13.3" WXGA
• SuperMulti DVD±R DL / DVD±RW / DVD-RAM Drive
• 160 GB Hybrid Hard Disk Drive
• 2 GB DDR-SDRAM (DDR2-667, 1 GBx2)
• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7700 (2.40GHz)
• Standard Capacity Lithium-ion Battery (BPS10)
• Keyboard (Silver)
• Trusted Platform Module / Biometric Fingerprint Sensor

It should ship at the end of the month, and will replace my current VAIO.

Skype has announced what was the root cause behind last Thursday's major outage and it was you, Windows users.

Nasty. Although it seems like it took an awful long time to fix an algorithm bug.
