BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Flex and AIR app Marcel Overdijk's Blog: Code by convention with Flex and Spring - What this means is that Flex clients can communicate with Java objects deployed on the server. BlazeDS contains a Java Adapter which forms the infrastructure to make this possible. With Jeff Vroom's Spring Integration you can even use Spring beans to comm Concern mounts over rising troop suicides - CNN.com - Every day, five U.S. soldiers try to kill themselves. Before the Iraq war began, that figure was less than one suicide attempt a day. My videos from Davos « Scobleizer — Tech geek blogger - I made quite a few videos on Qik last week while at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Here’s my favorites, not necessarily in order of importance. I marked the must watch videos. Official Google Blog: Yahoo! and the future of the Internet - Could a combination of (MSFT & YHOO) take advantage of a PC software monopoly to unfairly limit the ability of consumers to freely access competitors' email, IM, and web-based services? Policymakers around the world need to ask these questions Summation: The Power of Great People (why “good enough” won’t cut it) - In markets characterized by winner takes-all - increasingly true in a globalized world - you need the very best; “good enough” will no longer cut it when against intense competition. These are the people that build great and lasting companies. Design Patterns and Refactoring - sourcemaking.com - Design Patterns and Refactoring Pure Css Data Chart | Css Globe - Data visualization is mostly achieved with flash applications or with help of some programming languages. Are those solutions the only way to present, let's say simple data chart? How about giving it a try with nothing but good ol' css? The war on Grails is really a war on Spring | Groovy Zone - Ruby is perhaps a more flexible language than Groovy (and that's an arguable point, folks, and one which I really don't care to get into), but Ruby also runs on a less-flexible and less-scalable and less-supported platform than Groovy. I dunno that this m kemelyon » FlexReport - FlexReport is a client-side report generation component. It allows you to easily generate, preview and print reports based in mxml/as3 templates. generatedata.com - Ever needed custom formatted sample / test data, like, bad?

Let's hope Congress does the right thing and adds in adequate protection to guarantee Network Neutrality as life without it could really suck. Can you imagine a world where people who use Verizon as their ISP not being able to get to Google as Microsoft is paying Verizon to make MSN the preferred search engine. So all traffic to Google could be blocked or QOS'd down to a trickle. Can you imagine using a 4 MBps Internet connection where your connection to Google or other sites is a trickle of 56 Kbps? Can you imagine your Skype call sounding like crap because you are using AT&T as an ISP and they would rather sell you their VoIP services?
It's funny how the Telecommunication companies essentially want to blackmail content providers and consumers. When I surf to Google or Flickr or Digg or Live.com, I am using my local Internet connection that I pay for - Sites like Google, Flickr and Digg also pay for the bandwidth they use and so the consumer is paying to get to the provider and the provider is paying to connect to the Internet. But my ISP now wants to give one company priority on their networks over another, for a price. Sounds pretty shady, doesn't it?
Can you imagine how this would just totally kill innovation on the Internet? If we don't get Network Neutrality, innovative companies like YouTube, Flickr, del.icio.us and countless others would have never been able to launch as they wouldn't have been able to pay the Telecom companies extortion. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo would be able to afford it but new upstarts would be left out and can you imagine a world where there is no real competition? Look at Microsoft and Internet Explorer - After Netscape died, Microsoft essentially disbanded the IE team and didn't add any new features in the browser for almost 6 years. Competition is critical and fuels innovation and without competition, we have stagnation and the consumer suffers.
Web2.0 or Bubble2.0, depending on your perspective has largely been made possible by the ubiquity of the high-speed Internet access. Even Al Gore, the creator of the Internet has spoken up on this issue. At a recent speech, Al Gore said "Freedom of communication is an essential prerequisite for the restoration of the health of our democracy. It is particularly important that the freedom of the Internet be protected against either the encroachment of government or the efforts at control by large media conglomerates." (Via FreePress.net)
