[Tags: politics mccain obama ] Aug. 28, 2008 10:25 AM | One of the most promising startups to come out of the LaunchBox incubator is JamLegend, a music site with mass appeal. JamLegend takes the familiar anyone-can-be-a-rockstar model made popular by videogames like Guitar Hero and Rock Band and puts it on the Web. The site is in private beta, but we have 1,000 invites for the first people to sign up at the site with the invite code “TechCrunch.”
Once you sign up, you pick a song from a variety of genres (although right now there are on Aug. 28, 2008 09:20 AM | Just when I thought I was at the point of no return and was looking for my Vista media to reformat my drive, Microsoft fixed the issue! Aug. 28, 2008 08:05 AM | When I was in Boulder on Sunday, David Cohen and Brad Feld, the organizers of TechStars, kindly set up four meetings for me with Boulder startups they thought I'd find interesting. It was great fun! Bright motivated people with big ideas, the discussions were interesting and I learned a lot.
One of the companies is EventVue, who, like a company I invested in last year, is doing software to manage online communities around physical world conferences. Their customers are the conferences themselves Aug. 28, 2008 06:04 AM | Click image to see Cranky Geeks.

If you are interesting in help out the community Aug. 27, 2008 05:50 PM | The Pope dons red Prada kicks, politicians break out red ties in election season and that darn Netflix package always seems to stand out in a crowd of manilla and ivory mail. Why red? Do humans have a penchant for the rainbow’s most fiery color?
This study released in 2005 discovered that red-clad athletes out-performed competitors donning blue uniforms and suggested that the win discrepancy occurred because of an innate association of red with dominance and assertiveness. New research goe Aug. 27, 2008 05:03 PM | A conversation with Mike Card.I have interviewed Mike Card on the latest development of the OMG working group which aims at defining a new standards for Object Database Systems.Mike works with Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC) and is involved in object databases and their application to challenging problems, including pattern recognition. He chairs the ODBT group in OMG to advance object database standardization.R. Zicari: Mike, you recently chaired an OMG ODBTWG meeting, on June 24, 2008 Aug. 27, 2008 03:26 PM | OK, sorry to mix metaphors, but it is time to put this can of worms to bed (???). If you've been following this blog you couldn't help but notice the many posts on the apparent ESB vs. SOA controversy. All of this started with an innocent little interview John did for SearchSOA - where the topic of Intermediating multiple ESBs came up. This article created a tornado of posts from some heavy hitters on SOA topics over the last month.
Given all of that, we decided to have our own little webinar o Aug. 26, 2008 10:01 PM |
“Another programmer came to us. ‘I thought you should know that people are really unhappy,’ he said bluntly, ‘and it’s starting to make it so that people just complain all day, instead of doing their work, and that’s not good.’”

As of this week you can download an early release draft document containing 11 design documents we've been working on for the past year or so as the result of the OSGi enterprise initiative.
This is important because according to OSGi Alliance rules, only members are allowed access to working drafts of documents. This is the first time we've released any of these drafts publicly. As a board member and EEG co-chair, I'm very pleased to see this happen because (a) I often get asked about what's Aug. 26, 2008 06:20 PM | I'm very excited to announce that we've launched a new low-cost version of our award-winning XML Editor today: the XMLSpy Standard Edition is an entry-level XML Editor that packs some of the most frequently-used features of the higher-level editions into a product that is ideally suited for basic XML editing tasks, such as XML configuration file changes, twiddling with RSS feeds, viewing XML output from applications, writing small XSLT stylesheets, and for learning XML.

They were amazing at the Outside Lands Festival yesterday. Aug. 26, 2008 03:19 AM | I know I’m quite late to this, but I also know this show is remarkably obscure, and was released on DVD only towards the end of last year, I think. Slings and Arrows depicts the trials and tribulations of the New Burbage Theater company as it handles strange times on the stage. It’s definitely not an obvious ratings winner — it’s Canadian, erudite, and rewards a knowledge of The Bard that I’m sure I lack.

Aug. 20, 2008 01:12 PM | My colleague, Paul, got lots of… let’s call it, “feedback” regarding his post on the impending demise of the standalone Business Rule Engine (BRE) Market. It seems there are lots of folks out there who feel quite passionate about the subject, so I thought I would continue, albeit from a different angle and relate it back to the CEP and BusinessEvents for comparison.
So… taking my cue from David Letterman and with a tip o’ the hat to Paul, here are the:
Top Aug. 19, 2008 07:01 PM | With no fanfare, or even mention on adobe's website, Adobe has officially released Flex Builder 3.01 and the Flex SDK 3.1. Prior to the 3.01 release of flex builder, developers building AIR 1.1 applications had to go through a series of ext Aug. 18, 2008 06:11 PM | I've been into computers since I was 4 years old. I went to an esteemed (so they tell me) computer science school, or at least that's what they tell me. I've worked for every kind of software shop: the Big 6 (now 4) consultancies, a couple of startups, and even 'the Big O' (yes, Oracle). So I thought I was familiar with most techniques, theories and approaches to software development. Well, it seems I missed one.About 8 weeks ago Deepak Alur, JackBe's ever-vigilant VP of Development, sent me Aug. 18, 2008 10:49 AM | A list of project adaptations required to produce zero-errors

Having my laptop crash on me when I’m scheduled to do four sessions wasn’t pleasant, and took the edge off of it for me. Otherwis Aug. 14, 2008 11:47 PM | I received an email in my Inbox today to say that Twitter had killed off inbound SMS updates to the UK.The whole raison d’etre for my subscribing to and using Twitter was to get real-time updates. If I have to login to a Twitter app then what’s the point ? It’s no better, and actually worse than reading RSS. The guys at Twitter twitter on about it being costly, yada yada yada.
