Life after life of Google Wave
It is a little sad, but Google ends development of Wave product as "Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked".
I liked the whole "Wave" idea presented at Google I/O conference. It was new an powerful tool, covering the features of multiple existing services like instant messengers, chats, forums with threads and more. On the other side, people were scared of initial learning curve, even understanding at the start what is this service for. Compare other successful service Twitter that wins with simple question "what’s happening now" and message box for simple text message. It seams that simplicity of use and ascetic features win in that case.
Wave has unique features like live collaborative editing that I like the most. This is perfect tool for quickly writing documents by collaborating team. Google Wave is open source project ,so I hope such features would be incorporated into on-line editing suites, in a way that makes collaboration almost effortless. It should also take its place on some forum based sites.
If you miss that service, look for Google Wave offspring or make your own service- the code is publicly available.

Software development platforms wars as a movie theme
Summer break make me think about funny side of life.
Check this parody "Java 4 Ever" movie trailer, set in reality of dominance and war between development platforms .
Relax and consider that development platform is only a one of choices for a bigger purpose.
