Google Web Toolkit - Build AJAX apps in Java
Google Web Toolkit - Build AJAX apps in the Java language Download Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/

AOL Starts to Charge for Receiving eMail, DearAOL responds
DearAOL.com Coalition members, Well, it happened. Without informing either their users or senders, AOL last Friday turned on their Certified Mail system, and began to accept payment for delivering incoming mail. While we're disappointed in AOL's action, we're not surprised - nor are we discouraged. What is important is that the temptation to take money to skip spam filters does not spread throughout the industry. That's why we're asking other ISPs and webmail providers to state that they will not accept money for email. Can you help us? I've enclosed a letter you can send to your own ISP or web mail provider, asking them to state that they will not follow AOL's lead. The language we ask them to agree to is taken from a statement by representatives of Google's Gmail service, who told reporters last month that "[Gmail] does not accept payment to bypass its filters", and does not plan to charge senders. Customize it as you wish, and send it, ideally to their executives in charge of email...
