BileBlog is the worst blog about Java, ever :) Mean-spiritted, hardly serious spit-offs of anger of a man who does not hide his existential problems. If you are not already nuts, reading this nightmare, it can definitely make you one. Yet, sometimes it can be funny. I could not help ROFLMAOing when I read the...

Ever wondered about details of differences between JDK5 and JDK1.4? Wonder no more, and use JDiff. One word - AWESOME.

Apple Inc. has released a Safari update today. Safari is an extremely nice, fast and efficient browser on Mac OS X. The only big problem it had was with GMail. I guess it was due to the AJAX implementaion in Safari that made using gmail from Safari quite bulky. It seems like the latest update...

GMail is my most beloved email service. Not only because I get 1GB space for free but because it is extremely user-friendly. It is so nice that I do not even use POP access and always use it from the web. Recently I have discovered one more very cool feature. I don\‘t know how long...
