I wanted to read Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 and 10.5 Update 8 Release Notes yesterday but felt kind of tired and after all forgot about update until Oleg draw my attention to that again.

Java Deprecation
As of the release of Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3, the version of Java that is ported by Apple, and that ships with Mac OS X, is deprecated.
This means that the Apple-produced runtime will not be maintained at the same level, and may be removed from future versions of Mac OS X. The Java runtime shipping in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will continue to be supported and maintained through the standard support cycles of those products.
Dont you dare to “not support” java at all just like it is now on iOS. I will be very very very disapointed. Very.
By the name of upcoming Mac OS X “facelift” – Lion you can surely say that this might be the last OS X edition. Really – if there were panthers, leopards, tigers, then there is no future after Lion – the king of the beasts.
I always liked reasonable naming conventions and code names of which the imho best has Ubuntu with all those alphabetic animals.
Back to Mac OS X and newest buzzword that will float around for at least next couple of years – Mac OS X 10.7 Lion which “arrives summer 2011″. Just like snow leopard, also Lion in my opinion is just a visual facelift and some thingies in addition to make life easier. but really – why wait 10 years to come up with something revoutionary when you can just keep up with the mainstream just by releasing a new verion every couple of years. Thats what i found out from Mac OS X Lion Preview on Apple Special Event 10/20/10. Read the rest of this entry »
FYI to spare me time later. why cellfex doesnt run on older macs:
MacOsX is made by Apple like Windows is made by Microsoft. MacOsX is picky about stability and rarely supports newer technologies for older systems. Cellfex needs Java SE 6. But java 6 was released in 2006, but mac os x version 10.4 – in 2005. so backwards compatibility is poor or not at all (unless he has Intel processor so he can update os) so: Read the rest of this entry »
This. Is. Sick. In a good way. So it is good, but still.. sick… wicked….
Ski goggles with GPS, google maps, lcd screen, vertical (!!!) odometer (vertical!), speed, altitude, stopwatch and chronometer.
Include DivX and mp3 player and i will buy two of those. Include video camera and mobile phone and i will welcome myself in 21st century with widely open arms. Read the rest of this entry »
Sometimes in AJAXized world you would like to dynamically change the HTML page title so it gets bookmarked (or cached by search engine) correctly or at least differently).
After the page has been rendered, the only way to change content is via JavaScript (for those who doesn’t know – “ajax” is just a buzzword for one of the JavaScript’s features and not a mumbojumbo technology).
There are numerous ways to change the dynamic title in proper way by using external snippets, but the very basic is simple – just change the global “document” property called “title”. And this can be done also by placing JavaScript anywhere in page source.
<script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”>
document.title=’your custom title’;
</script>
I must disclaim that OF COURSE, <script> outside <head> is bad manner and not wrapping around CDATA is even bigger crime. But those who know that probably will not google for this stuff anyway.
