OpenJDK Now Almost Completely Open Source -
“The OpenJDK project is about 95% of a complete Java implementation. That last 5% or so is what we’ve called ‘encumbrances’, code which we weren’t able to open source.”
It looks like the OpenJDK is really making some good progress. One part of the JDK I’m really happy to see has been open sourced is the crypto library. A few other additions such as the announcement that an open source rasterizer is being looked at to replace the current one in the JDK. I hope to see even more progress in the future.

I just started reading O’ Reilly’s book, Java Threads, and so far am enjoying it. The authors did a good job breaking down the concepts and deliver them concisely.
Looks like Battlestar is coming back in late November with the movie event, Razor. It’s going to be about the Battlestar Pegasus. Wikipedia says it’ll be the first two episodes of the fourth season. Geeks around the world wait with baited breath.
