I just found one of the coolest Emacs packages I've found to date.  It's called dictionary and it allows you to look up words in buffers against www.dict.org.  If you don't know, dict.org allows you to query multiple dictionaries for a term. 

Now, I can put my cursor on any word, hit a key combination, and get the definition for that word.  VERY SWEET!

Separate dance cards for Web Services Choreography?. No MS, no IBM [The Register]

Don't you wish that companies would stop trying to profit off of standards?  Release the standard, and then profit off the products based on the standard.  Come on MS and IBM!

J2EE 1.4 moves down the Enterprise ladder. Cutting APIs [The Register]

We'll see if this helps simplify things.  However, I think it'll be a while before most companies have servers that are 1.4 compliant to develop against.
