Davyd Madeley has released a “coming soon features list” of Gnome 2.14. Really interesting new features for Gnome users: Speed improvement in Memory Allocation System (Gnome use a dedicated subsystem for this stuff), using a new mem-allocator called GSlice (follow a benchmark), and in Font Rendering (Gnome Terminal will be fastest of XTerm 8O ) some Administrative tools improvement to the integrated search system (expecially for Beagle-Enabled linux-box) Metacity improvement (it will use OpenGL… but I don’t know if this means the integration with Xgl/Compiz) ...

meebo is a multi-IM client (in beta version right now) that is Web 2.0 enabled: a really cool use of Ajax! I tried it and seems to be functional and really usable (it’s in beta, don’t forget). Probably a very powerfull alternative for user without a Laptop or a Network-enabled palm. The most interesting features? it use 1024 bit encryption RSA for Ajax communications!

I was one of the first Gentoo-on-iBook-7450 installer: I have an idea of the obstacles that Apple make (voluntarily?) to stop the “waste” of our hardware. The installation of Gentoo on Mactel is only a “time issue”: EFI was, for me, the biggest problem (elilo rulez!). But I don’t know the internal hardware of that new machine. Anyway, Good Work guys.

It’s now available in Universal Binary. List of features is here. I’m not a Camino user: I’m a Firefox-Extension’s addicted web-developer! But a Browser Gecko-Based with the powerful and beauty of MacOSX is a really interesting alternative for non-dev users… Source, Melablog.

I’m not an Oracle developer. I’m not an Oracle DB Manager. I’m not an Oracle Java Developer. I’m an Eclipse lover since Eclipse 3.0M* releases but, because of the power of Oracle, I had ever followed our development in the Java-Development-World. 5 days ago I Oracle sent to me information the release of JDeveloper 10.3 and OC4J 10.3 (Oracle Container for Java - our Application Server), and today I spent a little amount of time looking at the new features of JDeveloper and looking the interesting flash-screencast-demos. ...
