"I was typing an email on my iPad, and I got distracted. Some time later, I set the iPad down on my desk, and an icon on my Mac appeared. I clicked it, and in seconds the Mail app was running with that partially entered email in front of me. That's the Handoff feature in action, part of the iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite updates that will ship this fall. It's a sign of a change in computing that Google and Microsoft are also pursuing, not just Apple. Liquid Computing Welcome to the next tech revolution: Liquid computing Liquid computing: The next wave of the mobile experience Apple Watch: The Internet of things' new frontier iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are both in beta, so I can't really talk about the details of Handoff yet. But I can say it works just as Apple showed off at its recent WWDC conference's public keynote. Handoff is the first big step into a future where the notion of a device will go through a radical transformation. [ Mobile and PC management: The tough but unstoppable union. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ] At first blush, what Apple is doing is blurring the lines between mobile and desktop devices. That's true, but it's only part of the actual transformation under way. There's no real name for this transformation yet, so I'm calling it liquid computing until someone else comes up with a better name. In a nutshell, what Handoff -- and liquid computing in general -- portends is a world where both data and activities move around as needed. The device isn't the center of the universe, as it has been since the first computer. Think back to the early PC era, when people first started getting PCs at home, not just at work. Remember the effort we all spent in making sure we copied our files to a disk for use at home? We had to bring our data with us or else use a network connection to a file share. That model has persisted to this day, which is why the biggest loss of corporate data remains the lost or stolen thumb drive or

Google called Google Wave a communication and collaborative platform that could change the way we communicate online. The video below done by ephipeo studio, did very well in explaining how Google Wave could kill off our current email system, which was invented 40 years ago!

"RCP applications in a web browser The Rich Ajax Platform lets you build rich, Ajax-enabled Web applications by using the Eclipse development model, plug-ins with the well known Eclipse workbench extension points and a widget toolkit with SWT API. Existing RCP applications can be run as Web applications with only minor changes. SWT, JFace and Workbench API RAP is very similar to Eclipse RCP, but it has an alternative implementation of the SWT API (called RWT) which renders the widgets remotely in a web browser. The RAP application runs on a servlet container and clients can access the application with standard web browsers. "

"A year ago we wrote a number of articles devoted to the PSD-to-HTML/CSS conversion market (which afterwards were collected in the e-book "Introduction to PSD-to-XHTML Services: Consumer Guide"). It's a good time now to analyze changes in the Design-to-HTML field: what's new, what tendencies have a positive or negative impact on customers."

I look forward to seeing how it all plays out for Digg. I still see much potential for it. If they just change it to be like a Twitter just for links and make it easy for anyone to post to it, they could get back a lot of users. They do need to reinvent themselves and I think there hype capital from a few years back could still benefit them very much.

SmartGWT is easy to setup and I simply can't understand why they don't add a few lines into their Getting Started page. Yesterday I found obsolete SmartGWT setup tutorial - but it still works with only one thing missing. As someone mentioned in comments there, you need to add following code into your HTML (before script with your GWT module): Besides this you only need one inherit in your GWT Module XML: And of course - add smartgwt.jar on your classpath for GWT compiler. That's it - now you know how to setup SmartGWT project. (Of course I omitted the coding part, but there is a Showcase with examples.) That's the missing Getting Started. A few lines instead of many links mostly for Eclipse users - with some links not even related to SmartGWT at all.

My view of GWT is changing. When I wrote 5 GWT Anti-Patterns I saw it as the framework controlling my entire application. Now it's my glue. GWT is a wonderful foundation holding together the different parts of your application. It can grow and expand to new technologies and uses we haven't thought of yet, but it can also hold us back. You can get stuck in GWT and never find your way out. Each of these four anti-patterns addresses different ways to write code you wish you hadn't. The solutions are all about opening doors instead of closing them.

Welcome! In this tutorial, we're going to create a breakout clone that you can play in your browser, using javascript and the element. In order to use this tutorial, you'll need to have a relatively recent version of Firefox, Safari, or Opera. You cannot use Internet Explorer, because Microsoft hss decided not to implement the element in it. Before you read any further, click on the "run code" button on the left to play the game that we'll end up creating. On every page, you'll be able to click the "run code" button to run the code we've developed so far. Every page besides this one has an editor in it containing the javascript code that will be run in the same box as the game as soon as you click the button. You can make changes to the code, and see the results instantly by clicking the "run code" button. In order to make our lives easier, I've included the jQuery framework in every page, which extends javascript in your browser with some useful methods. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave a comment on the "comments" tab.

Right now you are a bundle of information in mind and body. You have unique memories; your cells have undergone chemical changes shared by no one else in the world. When you die, none of this information will vanish, because it can't. There is nowhere for plus and minus, positive and negative to go since the field contains nothing but information. Therefore their only alternative is to recombine. There is growing evidence that in fact we do share the same mind field. The brain belongs to "me," but if ideas belong to "us," then we are participating together in a field, sometimes quite mysteriously.

"mine field"!? Hmmmm could be a mine field. If the mind field had a Profile Web Page it could give you a choice: [ ] Public (all your thoughts will be shared across the mind field). [ ] Private (your thoughts will not be shared. Of course, then their are the hackers! Arghhhhhh!

Obama was elected on a promise of change, but the nature of the job makes it difficult for presidents to do much that has an immediate impact on the lives of average people. Congress plans to take up a second economic aid plan before year's end - an effort Obama supports. But it could be months or longer before taxpayers see the effect.
