I was just reading over at TechCrunch about Google quickly hiring Don Dodge after he was let go from Microsoft. It seems Don will be doing what he used to do at Microsoft – Developer Evangelism (good for him, and Google!).
I’m very happy to see that Google is putting their stock options and cash where [...]
2 days ago I wrote a post about the lack of Google Israel’s involvement in the development community.
It seems that in most of the places (I’m sure in the US, I’m not sure if the rest of the development centers in South American and Europe have the same involvement) where Google has development [...]
I know that Google’s original Googleplex at Mountain View is very active for non googlers. There are frequent open lectures there and they host a bunch of other things like Summer of Code (well, not always host, but sponsor and make sure people know about it) and Google Developer Day (which is happening at 10 [...]
Forgive me Outlook for I have sinned.

I just found out about the new name of the previously Windows code named “Longhorn”.
Guess what, it called Windows Vista.
Now I wonder who is the smart-ass marketing guy that thought about that?
What is this? half resurrecting dead Digital Corp. companies?
The year branding (95,98,2000,2003) I could live with, the XP signature was OK (at least it [...]
Its nice to see that MS has finally concluded that AJAX is a technology that is worthy of getting frameworktized into the .NET Framework
If you don’t want to wait for “Atlas” and you need to use this technology in .NET Framework 1.1 I would like to suggest Ajax.NET written by Michael Schwartz.
It’s well [...]
I just read in my Roy’s blog about the contest Channel9 is holding in which you can get free lodging, enterance and $1000 travel fair for the PDC 2005.
You can do that by either blogging your way in or code your way in using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and the Shareware Starter Kit.
Now I’m [...]
