I won't pay for apple

There are many reasons why I don't pay for apple. One of the key point is Steve Jobs' strategy on apple. He thinks he can produce pure apple products by hiding them from third party applications. He says;

"You don’t want your phone to be an open platform, You need it to work when you need it to work. Cingular doesn’t want to see their West Coast network go down because some application messed up."
Steve Jobs, Interview, January 2007

So, IS it the reason why apple doesn't launch J2ME on iPhone?. There are millions of phones running J2ME and it is still fine. May be Steve Jobs (personally) doesn't like java !!!
"Java’s not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It’s this big heavyweight ball and chain."
Steve Jobs, Interview, January 2007

No, I don't think so, everybody is using java and it is growing exponentially. It is the ever made platform independent application development environment.

If Steve Jobs doesn't change his mind apple will still stay %3 in the market

Why Second Life is Important?

I'm trying to pay more attention to Second Life but I had some difficulties at work to access Second Life and all related stuff because of I.T. manager in my company (he calls himself as I.T. manager but nothing with being I.T. manager ...) bans all Second Life stuff for gaming reason. Do you wonder why Second Life is important and it is not just a game? Sun is the answer.

İş Başı

Bayram tatilinin bitmesiyle dün sabah itibarı ile şirkette yerimi alıp çalışmaya başladım. Bayram güzel sayılırdı hasta olup 2 gün evde yatıp bir yere çıkamamın dışında. Bayramın 1. günü güzel süprizlerde oldu tabi. Kaç kişinin patronu çalışanını İstanbul'dan kalkıp Konya gibi bir yerde ziyaret eder ?

O'Reilly Safari Books Online

While I was searching some books from O'Reilly I noticed It was too expensive to buy a book from abroad. However I can't find what I want in Turkiye. At the end I decided to try Safari Books Online and bought one month service. Everything is cool except limited account, I can search and read all books that I want however I can add max 10 books to my bookshelf and I can't remove until a month passes. Also, some books took 2 slots in bookshelf, this is really sucks. One of the benefits of online books is ability to read books not published yet but available online.

In my bookshelf there are 3 books takes 4 slots. I'm going to make a review about those book as soon as I finish them.

Sun Community Innovation Awards Program

Google announced android challenge a few weeks ago now Sun does same thing. Sun sponsors open source community $1M innovation award. Details will be available on Jan 2008. I haven't heart anything about IBM's open source competitions. Have you ? Probably IBM is waiting his opponents.

Old Cool Dark Terminals

I have been working on JEE platform for 2 years as a professional. I like java and java related platforms but I really miss developing native applications on dark black linux terminals. I wish I have a chance to work on embedded devices as a professional. Nowadays being mobile is important as a result mobile devices are becoming more popular, most of these devices are based on linux firmwares. I recently discovered rockbox, it seems cool but I haven't tested it yet. My iPod (nano classic) is a gift from one of my Apple fun friend, I don't want to brake it. But somehow I feel I will find myself dealing with embedded platforms.
