I must confess, I was ignorant. I always thought Betamax was a better technology compared to VHS but had lost it in the market place. Well, now I know it isn't true. It is one of those urban legends. Repeated sufficiently and frequently to make it sound-like the truth.
Read the Guardian article Why VHS was better than Betamax and more at Betamax vs VHS at www.urbanlegend.com.

Another one of those nice libraries that would have been nice had I seen it earlier. Well, it is so nice that I feel like doing a project just to use it ;) Thinlet at http://www.thinlet.com is still underdevelopment but quite exciting.
It is a light weight GUI library using XML to describe the interface. It is almost like XUL. One of the nicest thing is that it works with JDK1.1 which means I could use it with Kaffe or browser based JVMs. At 28 KB compressed size it is good for making that rich applets too. It is ready for embedded Java.
I was thinking of using it and Jython for some quick tiny utilities. However, the library isn't as rich as Swing. SwingXML might actually be a better option though!
Will just wait for it to be a little richer before I use it.
