Did you notice this feature of gmail. Google had silently added this feature into our mail ids. With his Mail Fetcher feature, you can just fetch mails from other mail-ids (from yahoo, msn or whatever) and just view it in your gmail. You just need to know the POP settings of them.
Google quotes that this feature is still to get functional. Just wait for a few more days.
Here are some interesting features of Java 7.0
Using array syntax for collections access.
For example, instead of writing this:
List content = new ArrayList(10); content.add(0, "Bean"); content.add(1, "Picks"); String name = content.get(0);
you will be writing..
List content = new ArrayList(10); content[0] = "Bean"; content[1] = "Picks"; String name = content[0];
You can also initialize your List as
ArrayList content = {"Bean", "Picks", "Techno", "Blog"}
Most of the time we write so much code for accessing the getters and setters of beans. Consider you have a bean called Point, we generally write..
Point p = new Point(); p.setX(56); p.setY(87); int z = p.getX();
Now, with Dolphin, you could write
Point p = new Point(); p->X = 56; p->Y = 87; int z = p->X;
and your Point class will now look like this :
public class Point {
public int property x;
public int property y;
}
Cool. Isn’t it?

A report called “Java Economy in India: A Pessimistic Estimate“, conducted by Prof Rajanish Dass and Prof Rashi Goyal of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, has estimated the size of Indian Java economy at $14.65 billion for 2006, up from $11.27 billion a year ago.
That’s 2.1% of India’s GDP, expected soon to account for 2.5%. The total revenues of the Indian IT sector during 2005-06 were a little over $37 billion, of which over $10 billion were Java-related.
The IT software and services employment was estimated at 1.3 million at the end of 2006. Of these, nearly 50% are Java programmers. Indian Java economy accounts for 10-15% of the world’s Java economy.
If you think Google is the best innovator, this week Yahoo has proved that it not a competitor of lesser cadre. Yahoo made a breakthrough announcement of Yahoo! Pipes. Yahoo Pipes are just like the Unix pipes where we just transfer output from one command to another. Yahoo Pipes does the same. Transfer data between Web services.
It helps RSS/Atom/RDF and even JSON feed types to be integrated to create what we call as “mashups”. So, if you are subscribing to a feed from A1 site and A2 site, you can just get one single feed integrating the feeds of both these sites. The best part is that everything could be done using a visual editor. Not a single line of code.
“The Simplicity of the application helps the non technical user to take any sources, user input requests or pre-configured modules and drag+drop them into place and then connect the pipes.”
Will post a screen by screen snapshot of Yahoo Pipes next week. Know more here

Today, one guy has opened his yahoo mail only to find that some of his mails came from the future. Year 2038. Just check out the snapshot. Has yahoo become so bad after embracing PHP or has the spammers become too good??
