Since the recent announcement of Apple MobileMe -the MS ActiveSync like application- everybody in the Dev world have been speaking about what lies behind, about what gives it that desktop applications' smooth interface.. and here comes SproutCore. SproutCore is a massive -yet elegant- MVC javascript framework, that gives developers the ability to quickly develop AJAX applications very efficiently. It's claimed to be fast, optimized for both speed and size of javascript. MS offers Silverlight to deliver the WPF experience to the web but you need to install the client to all machines + it's not really "light" yet. Adobe has the widely spread Flash Player but it stands against all modern SEO techniques as it can't be indexed by search crawlers -while Silverlight can be- Apple's recently used it to develop their MobileMe service and they are also willing to optimize their next Safari to run SproutCore scripts even faster... A demo on Sprou...

In a very nice -old- speech for Marissa Mayer (VP for Search in Google) she said that Eric once asked her "what will you do about these products that are not really gaining user base?" she said: "well, either we cancel them, take them back to our labs, think about other ideas.... etc" he said: "don't kill them, just morph them..." What he meant is, if you have a smart group of people who worked hard to develop an idea and turn it into a product, it's more likely that this product has something inside that makes it successful. Failing to gain users base doesn't mean it's a bad idea/product, it's just that we didn't do it the right way, we didn't do it as people wants to see it.. We need to think about how to morph the product into something that people will actually like, and use happily everyday... Wine 1.0's just been released today, this project took 15 years of development to see the light... For those who does...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh, The compass has been around since at least the 12th century, but scientists still don't know exactly how the Earth generates the magnetic field that keeps a compass needle pointing north. Morning Edition , June 2, 2008 · One of the questions I kept thinking about A LOT is how does the earth generate that special magnetic field... what I was really wondering about is how weak it was, you can lift a 50kg +ve magnet rock and it'll feel the same as a 50kg -ve magnet rock!! ... and at the same time you can't jump more than 2 meters up... I was also imagining, if it's really a magnetic field as we know today, can we build a board with a very powerful opposite magnetic field to let us flyyy? I got no answers... Sob7ana Allah! According to npr , a geophysicist from University of Maryland is trying to build a small model for a planet, give it a high spin speed and hope it will generate its own magnetic field. He is planing to fill it...
