There is a contradiction in the very phrase "software company." The two words are pulling in opposite directions. Any good programmer in a large organization is going to be at odds with it, because organizations are designed to prevent what programmers strive for.

Eclipse SQL Explorer is a thin SQL client that allows you to query and browse any JDBC compliant database. It supports plugins with specialized functionality for individual databases (Oracle, DB2 and MySQL) and can be extended to include specialized support for other databases.

The project started as a fork from the original JFaceDb project which has gone commercial and uses some of the core libraries of SQuirreL SQL.

The application is available as a standalone client or as a plugin for Eclipse 3.2.

This is great.

Unreal. I remember a time when PC Mag would not even write about Macs. Now they are not just covering them. PC Mag is giving Apple desktops and laptops Editors' Choice awards. Both the iMac and MacBook Pro have garnered the award and are sitting as top rated products on the PC mag site.

Guess that little Intel move was the right thing to do.

I want this Sony Reader paper-like-screen thing in ultra-slim 8" x 10" or 7" x 5", and I want integrated wikipedia. I want each word to be double clickable and it will bring up wikipedia, along with a simple wikipedia search box.

I would get enormous use out of a paper-like-screen book reading device like that. I would put all my books on it.

Wikipedia has changed the way I read. Any interesting concept that comes up in a book I am not familiar with, I check the wiki. It provides context that allows deeper understanding of books I'm learning from, or a deeper immersion in novels.

But the book and the wikipedia are separate, and books on screen suck. So hurry up and combine them in a next-gen Sony Reader with an internet connection. Doesn't have to be fast. GPRS could do it. EDGE/3G/Wifi would be great.

And I want any real book to come with a digital version of itself to put on my reader. I also want to be able to buy any book for my reader, for cheaper than a normal book.

How long will we have to wait for this?

The 1996 Act was primarily the work of Senator and then Vice President Al Gore, who may not have invented the Internet but sure helped push it into commercial operation.
