This a video review of MacBook Air by macWorld.

Finally Apple has released its long awaited iPhone SDK. You can download it from here. Unfortunately, contrary to other blogs that reported the announcement, the SDK is not free even though you are using it for nonprofit projects. That just great Apple… why not suck all our credits in our bank account?!

I have decided to Twitter in my blog and I’ll keep updating it with what I’m doing. It is in the right sidebar of the blog and I hope you guys like it.

I can update what I’m doing by mobile phone sms, email, Google talk, or by Twitter.com which is really convenient. I think I’m going to use talk indoors mostly and sms if I’m outside somewhere.

This is a test post… I’m using Microsoft Live Writer.

I’m working on a web site using JSP and I found this great article that should be helpful for JSP programmers.

Typical Web applications require the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, together with a server-side framework, such as JavaServer Faces (JSF). CSS lets you change the visual characteristics of Web components within Ajax and other applications so they can have a pleasant and distinctive look. In the first installment of this two-part series, find out how to use the CSS-related attributes of standard JSF components. In addition, learn how to create a custom JSF component that sets the default styles of nested components, making it very easy to ensure a consistent look for all pages of your Web application. You can also use this technique to programmatically set other component attributes, as you’ll see in Part 2, which will show how to make JSF forms more dynamic using JavaScript.
