thparker writes “As part of the Media Center release discussed previously, Bill Gates had an interview with USA Today. Best quote: ‘Q: Speaking of security, Internet Explorer has had well-publicized holes… Gates: Understand those are cases where you are downloading third-party software.’ Well now we know — these problems have all been our own fault.” Any counterexamples?

Deprecate javac in favour of the Java 5 “apt” tool?
Bruce Chapman在java.net的论坛上讨论了javac的未来，随着JDK 5中携带的具备强大的扩展能力的apt工具，也许javac以后不会被直接使用了（虽然apt仍然要运行javac代码）。
5.0 has a new tool “apt” which is a better javac. It allows us (mere mortals) to run our own code inside the compiler which can …
* examine the source being compiled (via mirror API – similar to reflection or javadoc API)
* generate other code (sourcecode which will then be compiled, as well as bytecode if you have the inclination),
* and generate compiler errors if we detect something out of spec.
