Java 1.6 for Mac finally

The news of has already been given, but I wanted to stress the fact that is finally available version of Java 1.6, and all software developers will certainly be pleased to this news because until yesterday their life was slightly more difficult . This update brings then Java 1.5 to 1.6 and Apple stresses that it will not be replaced the previous version.

Being back with the version of Java was, in my view, serious enough for developers, many were the compatibility problems, especially for programs with graphical user interface developed for example with NetBeans (one of development environments for Java ). There were in fact recognized some constructs needed to implement skeletal graph of the programme.

The main issue of this failure to update is due to the fact that Apple is to release versions of Java for Mac OS, but for Linux and Windows this job is done directly from Sun. I believe that many of those who use Macs and programming in Java were forced to resolve this problem by switching to Windows or Linux if only to make some program; now finally can stay calm and stay on your beautiful operating system feather in Cupertino and have no thoughts .

I stress, and this is very important, that the update to Java 1.6 is only for Mac Os 10.5.2 and later and can not be installed on PowerPC architecture, but only on Intel.

You can download it from the site of Apple or by using the functions of the operating system upgrade.

New iPhone: return to white?




After so many indiscretions on the date of issue, are beginning to filter the first rumors about the characteristics and design of the new version of iPhone.

iLounge reports various indiscretions reached by the producers of accessories, which were received by Apple specifications of the new iPhone in order to prepare their products for launch date.
The new version of iPhone should not depart very, shapes and sizes, from the current one: in fact the choice of a design “full-screen” does not leave too much room for imagination. But is the back of the device which might restrict surprises: as filtered, Apple should abandon the metal case (more as a matter of weight and costs) and replace it with plastic quality, more-painting the houses could see a resounding reversing part of Jony Ive and members: the return to white, once dominant theme in the production chromatic Apple, then gradually abandoned so as to be represented, to date, from a single product list. In addition to white, should be available colouring black and perhaps a special version red Product (RED).
On the front of the device was noticed what is called a “sensor”, in all likelihood this is the room for making video.

It must be stressed that such rumors is not a novelty: when he launched “Made for iPod“, the certification program of accessories for the media player, Apple had to apply exceptions to its traditional secrecy. Many customers, in fact, pay fior di own money to get the opportunity to be in pole position, when a new device comes out with their specific accessories. This does not mean, however, that paranoia has abandoned Cupertino: it seems that there is the habit of “season” product data sheets sent to partner with special fantasy, different for each client: in this way, if you were to filter news, Apple know immediately identify the source.

In light of this, we can judge these indiscretions largely true, with just a detail likely to change.
