Google Tech TalksJune 24, 2008ABSTRACTEclipse Day at the GoogleplexSpeaker: Chris Aniszczyk, Code9Plug-ins are everywhere in Eclipse so come learn about how to develop them! Depending on the audience, for the first half of the talk, I will discuss what a plug-in is and what tooling is provided around developing plug-ins. For the second half, I will discuss tips and tricks that can save you time in developing plug-ins and will also talk about some lesser known, but extremely useful, parts of PDE.About Chris Aniszczyk:Chris Aniszczyk is the technical lead for the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) project at Eclipse. Chris also commits on various other Eclipse projects, has the honor to represent the committers on the Eclipse Board of Directors and sits on the Eclipse Architecture Council. Chris's passions are blogging, software advocacy, tooling and anything Eclipse. He's always available to discuss open-source or Eclipse over a frosty beverage.
Featuring Jim Woolsey, Chelsea Sexton, Larry Brilliant and others, this video describes plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, vehicle to grid (V2G) as part of Google.org's RechargeIT project.
Google Tech TalksAugust 28, 2008ABSTRACTThis presentation will highlight the new capabilities available to the applet developer, including integrated JNLP support, per-applet control over Java virtual machine command-line arguments and Java Runtime Environment version selection, a rewritten Java/JavaScript bridge, revised support for accessing and modifying the DOM, crossdomain.xml support, and more. Multiple demonstrations will illustrate the new possibilities available to the developer.Speaker: Ken RussellKen Russell is the architect of the new Java Plug-In at Sun Microsystems. His background and interests include high-performance 3D graphics and dynamic languages, especially the Java programming language. He holds a Bachelor's degree in CS/EE from MIT and a Master's degree in Media Arts and Sciences from the Media Lab, MIT.
A video by Plug-in Partners promoting the many benefits of Plugin Hybrids Electric Vehicles. If the current U.S. vehicle fleet were replaced overnight with PHEVs, oil consumption would decrease by 70 to 90 percent, eliminating the need for oil imports and leaving the U.S. self-sufficient in oil for many years to come. Even if the electrical power for those vehicles were drawn from coal-fired power plants, CO2 emissions would drop by more than half. If the power were produced by renewable energy sources, and the fuel in the tank were biodiesel or ethanol, the proposition gets exponentially better.And you can get 100+ MPG!
Andy Grove, former Intel chairman and CEO, provides a keynote address on the critical importance; and business opportunity and viability; of moving transportation from oil to electricity.
