How difficult can it be to comment on a technology-related legal battle on the BBC?
Without being a technology expert? “Revealed: The identity of the BBC’s latest star” is a funny story by “The Mail on Sunday”.

Cirque du Soleil
On Thursday I went to see Varekai, a Cirque du Soleil production. It was FANTASTIC. If you ever get the chance to see them live you should (I guess their other shows are equally or even better). I am going to try to go to Las Vegas just to see their “O” show which I’ve

REST here, REST there, REST everywhere. Where are the REST principles though?
It’s been a long time since I wrote about my views on a WS or SOA related topic. The “Simple JAVA and .NET SOA interoperability” article at InfoQ made me want to write something again. I can’t believe someone can write so many inaccuracies in a single article. I blame the use of the term

8 months in Microsoft

The Dream Begins” which is the first movie of a trilogy with a football-related storyline. The producer mentioned Newcastle so I tried to find information about the movie. It seems that

Vista filesystem encryption an anti-Linux feature?
I don’t use my blog to defend Microsoft or any of its products. Even before I came to Redmond, I tried to stay away from any discussions/arguments related to Linux vs MacOS vs Windows. I started using Linux back in ’92 or ’93 and it served me well during my PhD work. I always supported

The safe/unsafe Web and what’s that X-Bender header?
It’s been very refreshing to see recent discussions about why/how the Web works moving away from the REST vs SOA argument, or POX vs WS, or how cool AJAX is. Here are few links to get you started: Don: “HTTP, XML, REST, and $100“, “coming out“, “spending the $100“, and “Sam’s two webs“ Sam: “Two Webs“
