Eclipse, and many its plugins, are open source. Perhaps you're referring to closed-source/commercial tools based on Eclipse. (e.g. WebSphere Advanced Developer). Here's more about open source stuff on Eclipse.
Some people set up blogs - or use blog software - as an easy path to personal publishing.
Speaking of Java multithreading, I have an open source Java resource that might feature that topic sometime. I set it up as a blog - with Wordpress it's just a few easy steps.
"The limit to our growth is our ability to get the best talent on the planet and get them working on the toughest computing problems around," said Rosing, a former executive vice president of engineering at Sun Microsystems.

It's a lot of money here in the Philippines.
Funny they get back to us, the local developers, when their president declared there's no talent here and wanted to move on to India and Vietnam for his requirements.
They're looking for locals. Which contradicts their earlier statement that they could not find talent here. (I'm in Manila)

The real open source Oracle contribution is the persistence technology in the reference implementation of Java EE platform 5, under the CDDL. It will be part of Glassfish (or "SJSAS").
I thought OC4J was licensed from Orion?
Not WebSphere itself. IBM offers Geronimo support. The Development Tools subproject is hosted on Eclipse WebTools.

Exciting. Too bad for me, we don't have PayPal here (Philippines).
Another possibility for commerce is negotiating on the phone then making the payment directly through Skype.
I got the joke. But it was something to consider.

If MCI does, then Google is a competitor. Google could possibly be a customer of MCI - or since Google's traffic is that big, an IP peer.
Andy has more stores at folklore.org, previously covered here. He didn't say anything about joining Google.
If you have the data network. There are plenty of SMS-only subscribers - around 20 Million of them here in the Philippines on one network alone.
I couldn't find info on how OpenWengo does it, but SMS integration should be technically easy under Google Talk
There was talk about having a PayPal Philippines, but it turns out to be just an offshore call/BPO center.
"Global IP Sound provides voice processing software to Skype's peer-to-peer voice-communications software."
Oh, and, "Global IP Sound (GIPS), a leading provider of embedded voice-processing solutions for the Voice over IP (VoIP) market, today announced an OEM license agreement with Google for voice processing solutions."
A couple of months ago I spent a good ammount of time tuning MySQL/InnoDB for a JBoss/J2EE app. It wasn't fun but I couldn't port the data to PostgreSQL.
But this time, the Russian is on the other side.
More CPU and memory server. Disk space for the logs. Bandwidth. Spare cash to pay for his overage.
The eWeek article is just a summary. The full story is here.
That's 46% of Jabber.com, a commercial implementation. "Jabber" is actually XMPP, the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, an IETF standard.
The Sun people already have various opinions and projects on DRM.
Here's a better story from "Jensense", one of THE contextual advertising bloggers.
Remember Project David, the WINE ripoff featured last year? They're back.
