The holidays have passed, the new year is upon us and there is much geeky goodness to be thankful for. I am thankful for the forums and the wikis, the tech tips and blogs. I am thankful for the outstanding community that drives it all, and the supporting cast of hundreds within F5 that helps support this DevCentral thing we get to do. I am so thankful, in fact, that I am here to share five of my favorite recent DevCentral additions with you. Hurried over the holidays? Nagged after the new year? Fall behind on your feeds? Never fear,...
Wow! What a whirlwind it's been the past few weeks. Between holidays and vacation and people traveling out of town, it's been an absolute zoo around here. Though I've been out the past week or so there has been an avalanche of content. I've hemmed and hawed and finally managed to slim my picks down to just five, though there are at least a dozen awesome things worth checking out on DevCentral in the past week or so. So don't be shy, get out there and poke around for yourself. For now, though, here are my top 5 picks for...
Google, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo!, Nokia, Comcast - all in one room. Either the complete domination of the Internet is being plotted, or these giants are getting together to talk about Social Media. Last Thursday, January 8th, representatives from these companies and several others got together to discuss Activity Streams and what the future holds for them. What is an Activity Stream you ask? It's your status update, your facebook profile update, your twitter message, etc. It's how you communicate your recent activities to your online crew, if you will. So why are these giants meeting to talk about your Activity...
With all of the buzz about the G1 from Google / T-Mobile in the past 24 hours there have been some great comments and reviews. There have been insightful discussions and interesting banter weighing the pros and cons, the reasoning for the way they've done certain things, features it may lack or contain, etc. Those are all interesting and useful commentary. This is none of those things. I promise to do more of that in the future, as I did yesterday, but this was too good to pass up. So, this one's from pretty far in left field,...
Well I knew it couldn't be all sunshine and roses. I started poking around looking at more info on the new phone from T-Mobile and Google, the G1, that I was just talking excitedly about an hour or so ago. So far first impressions have been resoundingly positive which is awesome, to say the least. There's always a catch though, isn't there? Cynical geeks across the globe were heard howling in distaste the second they discovered that the new G1 has opted to not include a standard headphone jack in favor of the proprietary connector they favor. What's that?...
Google and T-Mobile have announced the release of the G1, the new smart phone that looks to be a serious competitor for the iPhone. RWW has a great article that lists some features and links to videos/images of the phone. This touch screen, full QWERTY phone comes with Gmail, Google's Android OS, a lightweight browser, a full application market available, downloadable songs from Amazon with a single touch, and more. It's a pretty impressive offering, if you ask me, and just what I've been waiting for. I've been looking to replace my Razr for a while...
It's Beta software, it was inevitably going to have some bugs. This bug, however, is a little bit embarrassing for the good folks over at Google. RWW has an article that describes a potentially nasty security hole made possible by Chrome, a known Java bug, and an un-patched WebKit. You can read the whole article here, but the gist of it is that users can be duped with relative ease into executing just about any Java program that an attacker wants. That's bad. Very, very bad, in case you weren't already sure. "It's Beta software!" you say,...
