Earth Hour 2011

At 8:30 PM on Saturday 26th March 2011, lights will switch off around the globe for Earth Hour and people will commit to actions that go beyond the hour.

This Earth Hour we want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference.
Together our actions add up.

Oracle and Apple Announce OpenJDK Project for Mac OS X

This may be old news, but apparently Oracle and Apple announced the OpenJDK project for Mac OS X.
“We are excited to welcome Apple as a significant contributor in the growing OpenJDK community,” said Hasan Rizvi, Oracle’s senior vice president of Development. Personally I'm more eager to see how Oracle, Apple and the JAVA community will handle the issue of Apple's use of private API in their JAVA development.

Let's just hope that Apple's implementation doesn't end up like Microsoft's :(
