Now, we're happy to announce that all of the GWT source code is available, including the Java to JavaScript compiler and the debugging browser, under the Apache 2.0 license. If you'd like to see how we pulled off letting you avoid dealing with nasty browser quirks, you should take a look. More importantly, we're running this like a true open source project now: we'll be developing GWT completely in the open, as per our project charter. More info on the GWT blog"

I see lots of random features and some great vision, but that does not translate into great products." He also said that he'd use a Mac if he didn't work for MS. Vista may have changed his mind about security , but will he stick with it after his retirement at the end of the year?

Submission + - Wiimote on Linux?

John G. writes: An avid gamer by the handle of e-Hernick has been working on a python script which allows a linux user to use the Nintendo Wii remote in linux. An exciting prospect considering the possibilities of having it work on YDL on a PS3. The script is available for download, however, since I lack a Wii and the extra hardware, I am unable to test the script myself.

My Wii has managed to boot uClinux and I've laid the path out for other hackers to continue. Here's some instructions on how to get your Wii running your own code. Instructions: 1) Run DNS server and point shop to local Apache server 2) Run Apache server with index.tmd added as an index. 3) Place TMD file, which is not being distributed at the moment, in server root. 4) Use your DNS server on the Wii internet settings section. 5) Go to the Wii shop. 6) A channel will be added that boots your custom content.bin 7) Profit. Don't ask me for the TMD file, I'm not sending it around as I don't know the legalities of this. uClinux works fine and I've even got a USB keyboard working. The next step is to get drivers for the Wii which isn't my area so I'm going to be leaving the Linux train here. Later, Hexxeh"
