Java and C++ are the most successful languages for a long time, so it's comprehensive that some ones simple doesn't like. Now talking serious... don't came to tell me that Go is a good language, because after a couple of weeks playing with it I could check that Go is nothing more than C with some .h libs! I like Google though lately they are not being very honest with us, due that even with private browsing enable, Chrome still sending some sort of information, they have used a lot of WiFi without authorization, now releasing several versions of Android, that is very good for mobile platforms, though if the hardware don't follow it, they such probably will be let at side, because no one want to expend money to release one product and very soon that release be considerate old, and the company did not have time do pay off the investment. Now they want dictate the languages... what I see now is that they trying everything, and then looking for the roi in a few investments... and with this a lot people that supported those not so successful investments will be leave for behind. Good luck for those ones that trust blindly on Google.

Doing this we are changing 6 for half-dozen... Because the CO2 still being produced and may be in larger scale than today, due that the population and the industrialization just expand. Yeah you are all right, we will have one time between hydrocarbons before renewables,though it's not the solution, for that we, "human race", don't reach one not return point, there are need to change many things, starting for transports, the way we produce wastes, and go on. The funny thing is that everybody knows that we are going to the abyss edge, and looks like that everybody is paying to see what will happen, because no one want's change your way of life. Don't believe that the people will command this change, because will not. Those sort of changes need be make from top to down, starting with the government, and laws, then companies and for last ordinary citizens.

I don't think that provide work visas, result in fewer jobs opportunities. Though there are few things that is happening... most of companies from your country, my and any other, are migrating to China, because there the cost's are quite lower, second, for you have good professional, you need passionate people, and sorry though EUA for a long time don't have one passionate youth for sciences. And for last, if you want have one bright future in science, it's better start by now with science stimulus for the young's, because the world today, is much more democratic than two decades ago, so the knowledge is spread more than ever. That sort of dominance in science from one country, is over, and each time more the world will have to work as one to achieve better results, or the advances will be each time slower, due capitalism, because the cost's will always rise, because profits and so on. I'm not a communist, for sure love capitalism. However, it's this mentality faced just for profits it's killing the will of people to achieve something better in science, and if you permit me speak free, if not for those H1B, the US dominance in science and tech, should be fall at long time ago. Doesn't work blame others because you are not doing your homework

I don't like MS, though the truth is that with this last Windows, they are really more secure than others SO's, if you guys pay attention in the hacker championship, that one the gives a prize for the fastest hacker that invade one system, the fast invasion happens into Mac OS X, then Linux and Windows for last. Of course as Windows has more platforms spread than any other OS, it's the target number one. However, I don't like the Google politics, because even the browser with or without privacy enable, they always will receive some data from you. If exist one big brother world wide, Google is this one, and don't thing that it will get better, because will not.

The narrative is weak, the actors very bad, don't worth watch it again, once is more than enough. For me the only one who should like of it, is the US Army, because that guy is the sort of soldier that they want... one no brain guy, that in the movie is the most luck guy in the world. But everybody know that doing that things he should be dead and with empty coffin..

They are making it already, They are selling a lot application servers, most of Oracle Databases that they sell is to be connected using JDBC, even that crap developing suite that they have is open-source based and they are making money with that either, in other worlds... Most of profit that Oracle is having in the last years is due the Java and not just because they have one very good RDBMS, because most of Oracle products are Java based. So what they want now? What I'm seeing is that they simple don't want have open source, and will be one matter of time to they start delivering SDKs that does not reflect the latest improvements... to sell the SDK with the last updates... but if they do that will give one shot in their own feet. Since they bought Sun, I don't remember to did have read any news telling that they have plans to invest into open source.... nothing about that... just a few comments like "everything will keep like is now", and nothing else. One of the biggest problem that they have now is disassociate the brand Sun from Java, because does not exist one Java developer that will associate Oracle with Java now, and it will take time and that they don't want wait to see.

If this computer keep connected into or via normal web, he might be invaded either, what will come back to the beginning, and if this computer it's not connected, how it will discover what is happening or who will activate it? There are more of course... usually when they discover one attack happening, it's too late, should be better have one button to switch off the backbone internet leaving millions without connection for hours and put one team to block those IP's make part of any botnet than expend years, resources and a lot of money in one solution that could be (and will be) old as soon it's released. It's waste of time, resource and money.

I particularly never bought and don't buy Apples products... they are very expensive, and not so better than any other similar, rather today the PCs are quite better then any Mac. Now have a strict control over any application isn't wise, because now there are one IPhone boom, but soon every mobile company will provide something like IPhone clones with many more resources and softwares and with accessible prices. I don't know why that everything from Apple is a big news, for my if they won't have many apps for your mobiles, because they can't have multi-task, it's problem for the person who bought one those, and more... I'm pretty sure that exist today many more market to sale mobile apps to Nokia and Blackberries than IPhone.

Is a distant dream for most of users or will be the boiler plate as SOA was proclaimed to be? May be for 95% users on earth, the cloud computing and yours OS's will be just a dream, or anyone here can do on download at superior speeds than your HD ? I don't think so. For my point of view and may be there are more people that should share it with me, Cloud Computing is one of the newest IBM marketing in action as was SOA, that in truth are the same and old Mainframe did and do, to sale new machines, solutions and shake the IT market making a lot of $$$. Of course that make $$$ is the purpose of everyone in IT industry, but they are try to sale that the idea is quite easy and cheap to put it to work and that is suitable to anyone, that is not true. Today we have a lot of earlier marketing, about things that basically doesn't exist yet or is just one idea that no one might knows if it in fact it will work one day. It's not good for the IT market at all, because today is one area that many company directors see as one deep hole for the $$$ that never ends and create new solutions without fix the previous ones properly. Today the market is flooded with MS marketing solutions, that means shoot to any where and them, draw the target around it, and with it you will always have one bulls eye, or in other words they are creating solutions for things that we actually don't need and creating after a lot of uses for that solutions and selling it as the big deal. Today we are living the marketing age on IT, and I really hope that the next one should be in fact one that provide utile and coherent content that will provide to us the same feedback that you have when you buy one chocolate bar and is happy because that one have the chocolate taste, texture and smell that you want.

One ID is a good idea, today may be only UK and some Africans countries don't have one ID system. Although put all criminal record into the ID, is throw money/time away, because it should work in the beginning and after some time those guys will find out one way to have the clean report of yourself s... that will be easy to do doing reverse engineering. This sort of information should be keep into security places where only safe and reliable people have access. The point is, the people in charge of security are getting old and new ideas doesn't sound so new. Why they don't put high definition cameras hide and no so high, but in one height that is possible to see the faces and of course cameras with zoom feature. At least they will be able to see the people face, instead the most part of hair and may be those new cameras should help in crime solution better than now.
