Yahoo has been rumored to be selling Paris-based comparative shopping site Kelkoo for some time now, and it appears that they have found a buyer. Yahoo acquired Kelkoo in 2004 for €475 million.
The company has been sold to a UK-based private equity firm called Jamplant Ltd (update: here is a profile of the fund) for something less than €100 million, according to sources with knowledge of the deal.
Ex-Kelkoo CEO Pierre Chappaz announced the news on his blog, and a copy of the internal email a
FORTRAN was a programming language for crunching numbers. It provided limited textual support, primarily for the labeling of output. It did this with Hollerith constants. Hollerith constants were named for Herman Hollerith, who adapted the punched card for data processing. To make a Hollerith constant, enter the number of characters, then the letter H, and then the characters. 13HHELLO, WORLD! ALGOL 60 had better textual support, adding a structure called a string which was a s

Mike Vizard at eWeek recently hosted a podcast with ITKO???s John Michelsen, on "Application Development in the Clouds." In this conversation, John and Mike talk about how cloud computing is going to upend the way IT organizations think about SOA and application development in general.
Mike started by mentioning the increased number of dependencies that SaaS brings to SOA testing. John said Mike really nailed the problem - it is something we are seeing in every engagement that relies on third p
There was an interesting article on predictive analytics and CEP in Insurance & Technology this month, as reported on David Luckham’s site. The article commented on day-by-day / real-time high-volume data analysis using predictive analytics and complex event processing. Though the article didn’t draw the logical conclusion (i.e. there are use cases for applying both forms of pattern analysis, i.e. deep-historical and real-time), nor did it mention TIBCO (!)

I thought I had it yesterday, but there was a case I didn't test, and it didn't work, so there's still some more work to do.
What I want:
1. http://apache.twitterland.org/ should be served from the static Apache folder, which is in its virgin state with the "It Works!" page. And it does work.
2. The npr sub-folder should be served by the OPML Editor, and it is.
3. http://test5.twitterland.org/ should also be served by the OPML Editor, but it is not. Instead it's serving the static Apache folder.

A three-year research project, headed by Mimi Ito, involving 28 researchers and 800 subjects, and sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, finds that the stereotypical idea of the Internet as a soul-devouring, anti-social wasteland for our kids is just plain wrong. If you suspected otherwise, now you know you were right.
The report makes a key distinction that helps explain some of the confusion we’ve been living through. From the press release:

Mr. Zucker's relationship with Mr. Weinstein is also the subject of commentary in the court papers. At a meeting in January 2007 between the two, Mr. Weinstein told Mr. Zucker: "You can only have in your life five true friends, and I consider you one of my five friends. And I'm telling you, I will not embarrass you."
When the Weinstein Company filed its reply to the lawsuit last month, it claimed that Mr. Weinstein told Mr. Zucker that a person "has about 15 friends in the business world" and t

In conversations and on mailing lists addressing the design of interactive media, I’ve found myself growing uneasy with just how little understanding most people practicing in the field have of how they are influenced by the various theories that undergird are standard practice. I think it can be problematic that so people are working in the context of these theories don’t understand how the theories’ assumptions are coloring their approaches.
What do I mean by theory? Theory i
I bought my wife a Nokia 5310 MusicExpress phone recently. She had used the 6210i for a long time and wanted something that had the same ease of use but that was slim, had a radio, and allowed her to play music. The 5310 was ideal. My wife has a Mac and as per normal the phone was not supported on iSync, the built-in Mac device syncing service. You can add the 5310 to isync by downloading a package to provide the device with isync here

HTTPS Tunneling, also called HTTPS Proxy, SSL proxy, or SSL tunneling, refers to sending HTTPS content via a proxy server. This is a very common usage scenario over the web.
Unfortunately, I have not found any Java server that supports this yet. Tomcat chokes up quickly if you tunnel HTTPS messages. Other Java servers don’t even come close. Jetty is the furthest and closest to supporting it. Greg Wilkins even wrote two examples showing Jetty’s proxy support (ProxyServlet and Asy
ICANN has opened up the process for gTLD. I’m certain that we’ll now finally see .mac and .msn. The application process looks grueling, and the application fee is expected to be a relatively staggerring $185,000, so don’t expect to see .dojo, .sitepen, or .dylan any time soon.
That said, if someone wants to set up .lan, I’ll be first in line to pay for dy! For now, I’ll stick with dylan.io.
I came across this interesting post: How Mashups Could Eliminate Integration Projects by Loraine Lawson. In a related post, she refers to John Crupi's article Enterprise Mashups Part I: Bringing SOA to the People which I would recommend to readers who want to understand JackBe's take on defining mashups. Anyway, Loraine's post led me to Ron Schmelzer's ZapFlash. Here are some excerpts of Ron's article that caught my eye, with my take on them.Excerpt from ZapFlash:A year or two ago, assuming tha
